A condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and a sturdy, monoline build. Curves and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and apertures a smooth, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, with occasional soft rounding, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. The face maintains tight spacing and strong vertical emphasis while keeping letterforms open enough for display use.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a compact, energetic voice is needed—sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It can work in subheads and callouts, but its tight, condensed texture favors larger sizes and generous line spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and slightly retro, reminiscent of athletic branding and technical labeling. Its forward slant and compact width suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded-rectangular construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver a streamlined, high-impact sans that feels mechanical and contemporary while nodding to classic condensed oblique lettering. The rounded-rectangle construction appears intended to balance toughness with approachability and maintain consistent visual rhythm in bold, space-saving compositions.
Distinctive numerals and uppercase forms reinforce a utilitarian, signage-like character, with simplified shapes and minimal detailing. The italics are integral to the design rather than a mere slant, so the texture stays cohesive across mixed-case settings.
