A condensed oblique sans with chunky, low-contrast strokes and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves. The letterforms lean consistently forward and keep a compact footprint, with tight apertures and squared-off terminals softened by generous corner rounding. Bowls and counters feel squarish rather than circular, and the overall construction reads geometric and uniform, producing a dense, efficient texture in text.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where a compact, forward-leaning voice helps signal motion and intensity. It can work effectively on packaging, product labels, and UI callouts when space is tight and you want high impact. For longer text, it performs best at larger sizes where counters and apertures remain clear.
The font conveys speed and momentum through its steady slant and compact proportions, while the softened corners keep the tone approachable rather than harsh. It feels contemporary and purposeful, with a slightly industrial, performance-oriented character suited to energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to combine a fast, italicized stance with geometric, superelliptic construction for a modern display presence. Its condensed rhythm and softened corners suggest a goal of achieving strong visual punch while maintaining a clean, contemporary friendliness.
The numerals and caps share the same superelliptic logic, giving the set a cohesive, engineered look. In paragraphs the bold massing and condensed width create a strong, dark color that favors emphasis and short-to-medium runs over airy reading.
