A tall, tightly set sans with an oblique stance and a distinctly compressed silhouette. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish, streamlined feel. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt with soft cornering, and the overall rhythm is upright and consistent, built for narrow columns and stacked lines. Figures follow the same condensed logic, with compact apertures and sturdy, simplified construction.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a compact footprint and strong directional slant help create impact. It should perform well in sports branding, event graphics, product packaging, and bold navigational or informational graphics where narrow letterforms help conserve space while staying legible at display sizes.
The face reads fast and purposeful, with a sporty, display-forward energy and a hint of retro industrial styling. Its slanted posture and squared-round geometry suggest motion, speed, and engineered precision rather than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-energy sans for display typography, combining an oblique posture with rounded-rectangular curves to create a modern, engineered look.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to act as a design feature, while the rounded corners keep the condensed forms from feeling brittle. The superelliptical rounding shows most clearly in O/Q/C-style shapes and the closed counters, which stay rectangular-ish and controlled even at larger sizes.
