A compact, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarer, engineered feel. Strokes are steady and largely monoline, with tight apertures and crisp terminals that keep the texture clean at display sizes. The proportions are vertically emphasized, with a tall lowercase and a generally condensed footprint that produces a dense, efficient rhythm across lines.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short text where a fast, compact voice is desired. The condensed, oblique silhouette works well for sports, automotive, tech-forward identities, packaging, and poster typography, especially when space is limited and impact is needed.
The slanted stance and compact geometry create a sense of speed and forward motion. Its rounded-square forms feel contemporary and slightly technical, balancing approachability with a performance-minded edge. Overall, it reads as confident and energetic rather than casual or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary italic sans voice built from superelliptic geometry—prioritizing speed, compactness, and a consistent, engineered texture that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Numerals and capitals share the same superelliptic logic, producing consistent corners and interior shapes across the set. The sample text shows stable word color and a slightly compressed spacing feel, helping headlines hold together tightly while still remaining legible.
