A compact, oblique sans with heavy, consistent strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Letterforms are tall and compressed with rounded-rectangle curves, creating a squared-off softness in bowls and counters. Joins and terminals read clean and blunt, with minimal stroke modulation and a steady rhythm that keeps texture even in longer lines. Numerals follow the same condensed, forward-leaning structure, maintaining strong vertical presence and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where impact matters: headlines, posters, and promotional copy that benefits from a dense, energetic voice. The condensed footprint works well for signage, packaging, and branding systems that need to fit more characters into limited space while staying visually assertive. It can also serve as a strong supporting display face in modern editorial or product contexts.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, combining a modern utilitarian feel with a sporty, headline-driven energy. The slanted stance and compressed width suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded-rect geometry keeps it friendly rather than harsh. It reads as confident and pragmatic, suited to messages that need to feel direct and dynamic.
Likely designed to deliver maximum emphasis in a compact width, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rect construction for a contemporary, engineered feel. The consistent stroke weight and simplified terminals suggest an intention to stay robust at display sizes while maintaining a clean, no-nonsense typographic color.
The design leans on squared curves and compact counters, which helps maintain a dense, high-impact texture. Uppercase forms feel especially tall and rigid, while lowercase shapes keep the same engineered geometry for cohesion. The forward slant is consistent across letters and figures, reinforcing a unified, kinetic look.
