A compact, slanted sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled widths. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: straight-ish sides and softened corners, with oval counters that feel squarish rather than purely circular. Strokes remain fairly even throughout, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, producing a clean, continuous rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and rounded, and the overall spacing looks economical, giving lines a dense, forward-leaning texture.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where a compact, energetic tone is desired—headlines, poster typography, sports and automotive branding, packaging, and contemporary tech-facing graphics. It can also work for UI labels or wayfinding at larger sizes where its condensed footprint helps conserve space while maintaining a strong silhouette.
The font reads energetic and utilitarian, combining a streamlined, contemporary voice with a sporty, engineered feel. Its oblique stance and condensed build suggest speed and efficiency rather than softness or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern impression through a condensed, forward-leaning structure and superelliptic rounding. The emphasis is on efficient readability and a cohesive geometric system that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Capitals have a tall, signlike presence, while lowercase stays straightforward and functional with clear shapes and open apertures. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, keeping a cohesive, display-friendly texture across letters and figures.
