A condensed, forward-leaning sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in curves and counters. Letterforms are tall and compact, with tight internal space and smooth, softened corners that keep the geometry from feeling harsh. Terminals are generally clean and cut with an oblique bias, giving the outlines a streamlined, engineered rhythm. The overall texture is even and dark without noticeable stroke modulation, and numerals follow the same narrow, slanted, squarish-curved language for a consistent set.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a compact footprint and strong forward motion help carry the message. It performs well in sports and performance-oriented branding, product packaging, and UI/wayfinding labels that benefit from a tight, engineered look. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the narrow counters remain clear.
The font reads fast, aerodynamic, and slightly futuristic—like labeling on equipment or a modern transport interface. Its slant and condensed stance add urgency and motion, while the rounded geometry keeps the tone approachable rather than aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact italic sans that feels modern and dynamic while maintaining a controlled, geometric consistency. The superellipse-based curves and disciplined monoline strokes suggest an intention toward system-like coherence across letters and numerals.
Round letters (like O and D) feel more like vertical capsules than circles, reinforcing the condensed silhouette. Many forms show a subtle squarish curvature in bowls and joins, which supports a technical, modular impression when set in lines of text.
