A condensed oblique sans with heavy, low‑contrast strokes and softly squared curves. Round characters are built from superellipse-like bowls, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with a consistent forward slant and tight interior spaces that emphasize density. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with sturdy uppercase forms and simplified lowercase shapes that stay clear at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, and bold brand statements where a condensed footprint is helpful. It can also work for packaging or labels when you want a dense, modern texture, though the tight apertures and heavy weight favor display settings over long reading.
The forward lean and compact weight create a sense of speed and momentum, reading as energetic and assertive. Its rounded-rectangular construction adds a contemporary, engineered tone that feels modern rather than calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed width while retaining a clean sans structure. The superellipse-based rounding suggests an aim for a contemporary, slightly industrial look that stays smooth and cohesive under a strong oblique slant.
Figures are thick and compact with uniform stroke behavior, matching the letters’ condensed stance. The typeface maintains a steady slant across cases, and the superelliptical rounding keeps the texture smooth even in tight joins and small counters.
