A compact, oblique sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) shapes and heavy, monoline strokes. The letters are tightly proportioned with narrow widths, short apertures, and rounded corners that keep counters soft even in dense forms. Terminals are smoothly finished rather than sharply cut, and curves (C, G, O, Q) read as squared-off rounds, giving the design a streamlined, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded construction for consistent texture in mixed text.
This font works best for high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and packaging where a condensed, energetic voice is helpful. It can also suit short UI labels or signage when set with enough size and spacing to preserve letter differentiation.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and modern-retro, with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Its slanted stance and compact width create a sense of motion, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectilinear geometry for a sleek, speed-oriented look. Its consistent stroke weight and softened corners aim for strong legibility at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, engineered character.
In longer lines the narrow spacing and closed shapes create a dark, continuous texture, making it most effective when given generous tracking or used at larger sizes. Distinctive rounded joins and superelliptic bowls are the defining stylistic cue across both uppercase and lowercase.
