A condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and sturdy, even stroke weight. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: curves feel squarish at the extremes, with soft corners and tight apertures that keep counters compact. Uppercase shapes are tall and upright in their proportions while remaining slightly sheared, and the lowercase is compact with a high, efficient x-height and short ascenders/descenders. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, creating crisp joins and a steady, utilitarian rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, campaign lockups, and bold UI or product labeling where space is limited. It can also work well for sports and automotive-style branding, packaging callouts, and condensed wordmarks that need a strong, forward-motion presence.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, forward-leaning stance that reads as contemporary and action-oriented. Its compact width and heavy presence give it a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal footprint while maintaining a smooth, rounded-rectangle construction. The slant and compact proportions emphasize speed and modernity, aiming for strong recognition in display contexts and condensed branding applications.
Round letters (like O/C/G) show a distinctive squarish curvature, reinforcing a technical, engineered feel rather than a purely geometric circle. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic, keeping widths tight and silhouettes bold and clear at display sizes.
