A condensed, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and largely monolinear strokes. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals tend to finish with soft, squared ends, and joins stay clean with minimal flare. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, giving the alphabet a tall, streamlined rhythm, while the narrow set width keeps words tightly paced. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded geometry for a consistent text-and-display texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where a compact, energetic voice is useful. The tight width and steady stroke weight help maintain clarity in short phrases and labels, especially when space is limited.
The overall tone feels fast and kinetic, with a crisp, streamlined look that recalls vintage signage and athletic lettering. Its rounded corners keep it friendly rather than aggressive, balancing motion with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient italic voice with a modernized retro flavor, combining condensed proportions with superelliptical rounds for a sleek, repeatable geometry across the character set.
The slant is consistent across cases, and the condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis in both headlines and short lines of text. Rounded corners and square-ended terminals produce a distinct, engineered softness that reads clearly at larger sizes.
