A condensed, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and a strong, even stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters a soft, squared-round feel rather than purely circular bowls. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with minimal modulation and tight internal space, producing a dense, energetic texture. The lowercase maintains a high, efficient profile and the numerals share the same upright construction and compact rhythm, reading clearly at display sizes.
This face is well suited to headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where a compact, high-impact voice is useful. It can work effectively for sports branding, event graphics, and product/packaging systems that benefit from a condensed footprint and energetic slant. It is best used at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters and dense rhythm remain comfortable to read.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary—more performance-oriented than neutral. Its rounded-technical geometry adds a controlled, engineered feel, while the slant injects motion and urgency. The impression is confident and utilitarian, suitable for messaging that wants to feel active and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, speed-inflected sans that maximizes presence in limited horizontal space. Its superelliptical construction aims for a technical, engineered character while maintaining approachable roundedness, balancing toughness with smooth geometry.
Across the set, rounded corners and superelliptical bowls create a consistent, slightly “squared” curvature that keeps the design cohesive. The condensed width and tight counters amplify impact, but can make spacing feel intense in longer settings, favoring shorter lines and prominent typographic hierarchy.
