A compact, slanted sans with thick, even strokes and tightly proportioned letterforms. Curves and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving round letters a squarish, superellipse feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and a sturdy, mechanical rhythm. Apertures are relatively closed and spacing is efficient, producing a dense, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of copy, and brand marks where a condensed, energetic voice is useful. It works well for sports and streetwear aesthetics, product packaging, event posters, and bold UI accents where space is limited and strong emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with a slightly engineered attitude. Its oblique stance and compact build suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded-square shaping keeps it friendly enough to avoid feeling sharp or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact sans that feels swift and contemporary, combining a condensed footprint with rounded-square construction for a distinctive, cohesive presence. The aim appears to be confident display typography that stays clean and functional while projecting motion through its consistent slant.
The numerals and caps read especially sturdy, with simplified shapes and clear silhouettes that hold up well at display sizes. The lowercase maintains a consistent slant and compact footprint, prioritizing impact over airiness.
