A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a smooth superellipse feel, while terminals are mostly blunt and clean. The rhythm is tight and vertical with minimal sidebearings, and the italics appear mechanically sheared rather than calligraphic, producing a crisp, engineered texture. Numerals follow the same compact, sturdy construction with clear, simple forms.
Best suited to display settings where compact width and strong presence are assets—headlines, posters, promo graphics, and high-impact branding. It can work well for sports and tech-adjacent identities, as well as packaging and short signage where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a purposeful forward lean that reads as fast and contemporary. Its dense, punchy silhouette suggests performance, impact, and urgency rather than softness or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern sans structure. The superellipse-like rounding and consistent slant suggest an aim for a distinctive, contemporary voice that stays disciplined and highly legible at large sizes.
Round letters (like O/C/G) keep wide, squared-off curves, while diagonals and joins stay sharp, creating a distinctive blend of rounded geometry and hard edges. The boldness and condensed width make word shapes blocky and highly prominent, especially in uppercase.
