A condensed, oblique sans with low-contrast, uniform strokes and a pronounced superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off feel with softened corners. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with occasional curved finishes, creating a crisp rhythm. Overall proportions are tall and compact, with tight internal spaces and a forward-leaning stance that keeps letterforms feeling fast and controlled; numerals follow the same angular-rounded logic for consistent texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its condensed, slanted forms can project speed and impact—such as headlines, posters, sports identities, and tech-forward branding. It can also work for UI labels or signage when space is tight and a dynamic, contemporary voice is desired.
The tone is energetic and modern, combining a streamlined, speed-oriented slant with a precise, engineered geometry. The softened corners prevent it from feeling harsh, while the narrow build and forward motion suggest performance, technology, and motion branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, contemporary sans optimized for impact in constrained widths, using rounded-rect geometry to feel both technical and approachable. The consistent stroke weight and controlled slant prioritize clarity and a cohesive, brandable silhouette.
Round letters like O/Q show a boxy, superellipse silhouette rather than a true ellipse, which strongly shapes the font’s personality. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read sharp and assertive, and the overall spacing and compact width produce a dense, punchy typographic color in lines of text.
