A compact, slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps curves taut and corners softly radiused. The overall proportions are condensed, with tight internal counters and short apertures that emphasize a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Terminals are clean and largely unmodulated, producing a steady, engineered rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same compact, forward-leaning stance for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branded typography where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It works well in sports and automotive contexts, packaging callouts, and bold UI labels where space is limited and a dynamic tone is desired.
The tone is energetic and purposeful, with a forward-leaning posture that reads fast and competitive. Its dense, rounded forms feel contemporary and utilitarian, projecting confidence and impact without decorative flourish.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a tight footprint, combining rounded-rectilinear shapes with a pronounced slant to suggest speed and modernity. The consistent stroke treatment and compact spacing prioritize visual solidity and strong word-shapes in display-oriented use.
The italic slant is pronounced enough to create motion while keeping letterforms stable and legible at display sizes. The condensed set width and tight counters produce a dark, punchy color on the line, making spacing and line length important for comfortable reading in longer passages.
