A condensed, obliqued sans with tall proportions and compact letterfit. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing crisp edges while still maintaining softly rounded corners in bowls and counters. Curves lean toward squared-off, superellipse-like forms, giving C/O/Q and numerals a taut, engineered feel rather than purely geometric circles. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with clear apertures and simplified joins that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
This style is well suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where space is tight and a modern, dynamic voice is desired. It can work effectively in branding, packaging, and promotional graphics, as well as UI labels or navigation elements where condensed width and clear, consistent forms help maintain density without becoming ornate.
The font reads as contemporary and purposeful, with a slightly forward-leaning, in-motion tone. Its squared-round geometry and compact width suggest a utilitarian, performance-oriented character—more technical and sporty than friendly or classic.
The design appears intended to combine a compact, space-saving footprint with a contemporary, engineered geometry and an energetic slant. It prioritizes consistent stroke weight and squared-round curves to deliver a clean, system-like appearance that remains distinctive at larger sizes.
Uppercase shapes stay narrow and upright in structure despite the slant, with broad, steady diagonals in A/V/W/X. Lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional construction, and the numerals follow the same condensed, squared-round logic for a cohesive text-and-display voice.
