A compact, oblique sans with sturdy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in the bowls and counters. Curves are smooth and tightly drawn, while terminals read clean and blunt, keeping the silhouette dense and economical. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a forward rhythm and a tall, compressed texture in lines of text. Numerals are heavy and compact with simple, closed shapes that match the letters’ rounded geometry.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, and brand marks that need a compact, energetic italic voice. It can also work for labels and packaging where a dense, emphatic texture helps information stand out, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that feels fast and purposeful. Its compactness and heavy color suggest practicality and impact rather than delicacy, giving it a contemporary, action-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, space-efficient emphasis with a clean geometric build and a pronounced forward slant. Rounded-square forms and uniform stroke weight aim for modern clarity while maintaining strong visual punch in display typography.
Capitals show simplified, geometric joins and enclosed counters that stay open enough at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains a workmanlike, upright structure under the slant. The rounded squareness of O/C/G-family shapes and the tight internal spaces contribute to a strong, poster-like presence, especially in short headlines.
