A condensed, right-leaning sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction: round letters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are softly radiused rather than fully circular. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with tall proportions and compact counters that emphasize vertical rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and the bowls) keep a taut, engineered feel. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow, upright geometry, producing a tight, steady texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent branding where a compact, energetic presence is useful. It can work well in packaging and sports/fitness-style graphics, and in interfaces or signage when a condensed, space-saving voice is desired—especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is brisk and purposeful—more athletic and industrial than literary. Its condensed, slanted stance and squared curves suggest speed, efficiency, and a contemporary, utilitarian voice.
This design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans with a distinctive squared-round skeleton. The goal seems to be a modern, energetic texture that stays clean and consistent while standing apart from purely geometric or purely grotesque condensed styles.
The superelliptical shaping gives the type a distinctive blend of softness and rigidity: friendly rounded corners paired with disciplined, almost mechanical inner spaces. The uppercase reads assertive in short bursts, while the lowercase maintains a compact, patterned rhythm that can feel dense at smaller sizes.
