A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and crisp, clean outlines. Curves are built from rounded, squarish bowls that read as superelliptic, giving round letters a subtly boxy geometry. Strokes stay fairly uniform with modest contrast, and terminals are mostly blunt or softly rounded rather than sharply tapered. The overall rhythm is narrow and energetic, with straightforward construction and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and branding where a condensed italic can add speed and emphasis without looking decorative. It works well for sports and automotive themes, posters, packaging, and UI labels that need a compact footprint. In longer passages it will feel intense and space-saving, making it more appropriate for pull quotes and titling than body text.
The italic slant and compressed width create a sense of speed and momentum, lending the face a sporty, action-oriented tone. Its rounded-rectangle curves keep it friendly and contemporary while still feeling utilitarian and punchy. The result is a confident, slightly retro display vibe that reads as purposeful and kinetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, fast-reading voice—combining a narrow footprint with an italic stance for impact and motion. The superelliptic round forms suggest an effort to keep the face modern and approachable while maintaining a disciplined, engineered structure for strong display performance.
The figures are similarly condensed and upright-to-slanted in feel, matching the letterforms’ compact, forward motion. Round glyphs like O/Q show the superelliptic squareness clearly, helping the design keep a consistent texture in both caps and lowercase. Overall spacing appears tuned for tight settings, emphasizing a dense typographic color.
