A condensed, oblique sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a compact footprint. Forms are built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, producing tight counters and blunt terminals. Corners are consistently softened, while diagonals and joins stay crisp, giving the letters a carved, aerodynamic feel. The rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, with a tall lowercase presence and simplified, high-impact shapes that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. The condensed width helps fit long words into narrow spaces, making it useful for sports identities, event graphics, packaging callouts, and directional or informational signage that benefits from a forceful, energetic tone.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and utilitarian, suggesting movement and pressure—more "go" than "calm." Its squared curves and slanted stance add a technical, engineered flavor that feels at home in competitive or performance-driven contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with squared-round construction for a modern, performance-oriented look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistency across letters and numerals to stay bold and readable in display applications.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same compact, squared-round construction, and numerals match the set with chunky, squared bowls and uniform weight. The forward slant is strong enough to read as intentionally dynamic rather than merely italicized, and the tight apertures and counters make it feel especially punchy in short bursts.
