A condensed oblique sans with tall proportions, compact counters, and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are largely monoline with subtle modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut with squared ends that pair with softly rounded corners. Curves and bowls lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, producing smooth, controlled forms in letters like O/C/G and in rounded lowercase such as a, e, and g. Spacing is tight and rhythmic, with narrow widths and long verticals giving the face a crisp, streamlined texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding that benefit from a fast, streamlined voice, especially where horizontal space is limited. The condensed rhythm and controlled rounding also make it useful for UI labels, product naming, and sporty or technical graphics where a compact italic sans can add momentum without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, combining a modern, engineered feel with a hint of retro athletic signage. Its condensed italic stance reads as fast and purposeful, suggesting motion and efficiency rather than warmth or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient italic sans with a distinctive superelliptical roundness—combining clean, contemporary drawing with a performance-minded, motion-oriented stance for display-forward typography.
Distinctive, squared-off curves and rounded corners keep the shapes stable even at the slant, while the condensed set width amplifies verticality. Numerals follow the same oblique, compact logic, with straightforward, legible construction suited to display and short bursts of text.
