A tall, condensed sans with a pronounced oblique slant and compact internal spacing. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and corners that soften the otherwise blocky construction. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be closed, producing dense word shapes with strong vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright in structure but consistently sheared; lowercase follows with short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall capitals, maintaining a tight, streamlined texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where space is limited: headlines, posters, and branding that benefits from a compact footprint. It can also work well in signage and packaging where a condensed, forward-leaning voice helps call attention and suggest speed or intensity.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a utilitarian, engineered character. Its compressed silhouettes and forward lean evoke motion and urgency, leaning toward sporty and industrial cues while still reading as clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in narrow widths by combining condensed proportions with a consistent oblique slant and rounded-rectangle geometry. The aim is a strong, contemporary display voice that remains clean and structured while projecting motion and energy.
The font’s condensed proportions make spacing and rhythm especially prominent: straight stems dominate, while rounded bowls (notably in O/Q/0 and b/d/p) keep the texture from feeling overly rigid. Numerals match the same tall, compact stance, supporting a cohesive display feel across letters and figures.
