A compact, heavily weighted oblique sans with tight proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a soft-cornered, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes stay largely uniform, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is dense due to narrow widths and short apertures. Numerals and capitals read as solid blocks with rounded inner counters, while lowercase forms keep a pragmatic, upright construction adapted to the oblique slant.
Best suited to display settings where punch and immediacy matter—headlines, posters, athletic identities, bold packaging callouts, and short signage messages. It can also work for tight, high-impact subheads where a condensed, slanted voice is desirable, but extended small text will likely feel dense.
The overall tone is forceful and fast, combining a utilitarian sans structure with an athletic, forward-motion energy. Its compressed massing and strong slant suggest urgency and impact, making text feel assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a strong oblique posture with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition over typographic delicacy.
The oblique angle is consistent across the character set, and the tight spacing implied by the narrow letterforms reinforces a compact, poster-like texture. Rounded corners and squarish bowls help maintain clarity at larger sizes while keeping the silhouette cohesive.
