A condensed oblique sans with a soft-rectangular (superellipse) construction. Strokes are monolinear with low contrast and largely flat, sheared terminals, giving the forms a brisk forward motion. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, and joins are clean and compact with minimal flare. The overall color is dense and even, with tight proportions, a tall lowercase presence, and numerals that follow the same italicized, streamlined rhythm.
Best suited to branding systems that want a modern, kinetic voice, as well as sports and performance-themed graphics. It works well for short headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and UI/wayfinding labels where compact width and quick legibility are priorities. For longer passages, it will feel most comfortable at larger sizes where the oblique rhythm can breathe.
The tone is contemporary and energetic, balancing a technical, engineered feel with friendly rounding. Its forward slant and compact width suggest speed and efficiency, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, contemporary sans that stays compact and uniform while retaining warmth through rounded-rectangle geometry. Its oblique stance and tightly controlled shapes suggest a focus on momentum, space efficiency, and clear display readability.
Uppercase forms read squared and purposeful, while lowercase shapes maintain clarity through open apertures and simple terminals. The figure set appears sturdy and signage-like, with clear differentiation and a consistent slanted stress that supports fast scanning.
