A compact, condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and heavy, uniform stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with tight apertures and short extenders that keep the overall silhouette dense and vertical. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes (single-storey a and g), while figures are tall and narrow with the same blunt, streamlined construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and branding that benefits from a fast, condensed look. It can also work for packaging callouts and UI labels where space is limited and emphasis is needed, though extended reading copy may feel dense due to the compact rhythm.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning rhythm that suggests speed and immediacy. Its compressed proportions and bold presence read as confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a sporty, headline-driven voice rather than a quiet editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded superelliptical construction for a contemporary, streamlined voice. The consistent slant and blunt detailing suggest a focus on speed, strength, and clarity in display typography.
The narrow set width and tight internal spacing create strong texture in blocks of text, especially at larger sizes where the rounded counters and consistent stroke thickness become more apparent. The slant is steady and mechanical rather than calligraphic, reinforcing a modern, engineered feel.
