A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and curved joins that keeps forms smooth rather than sharp. Terminals tend to be clean and clipped, and curves resolve into subtly squared arcs, giving the letters a streamlined, engineered feel. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures and a compact overall footprint that reads strongly in short bursts.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding moments that need compact width and strong presence—such as sports graphics, event promotions, packaging callouts, and bold UI titles. It performs especially well when set with ample line spacing and used for short-to-medium phrases.
The typeface projects speed and intensity—confident, high-impact, and slightly aggressive—while the softened superelliptical rounding keeps it contemporary rather than harsh. It feels at home in kinetic, performance-oriented design where a strong forward motion is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a condensed build with an energetic slant and rounded-rect geometry for a sleek, contemporary voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent slant and condensed structure, and the numerals follow the same tall, compressed logic for cohesive headline setting. The combination of tight spacing and narrow interior shapes can raise the visual density, especially in longer text blocks.
