A tightly condensed, right-leaning sans with compact proportions and a strong, continuous stroke presence. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic rather than true circles, giving O/C/G and the numerals a slightly squarish, superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, counters are relatively small, and joins stay crisp, producing a dense, energetic texture in lines of text. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable construction with minimal calligraphic modulation.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where a compact footprint and high visual impact are desired—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks that need a sense of speed. It can also work for labels and packaging where horizontal space is limited but a bold typographic presence is needed.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and immediacy. Its compressed width and dark color create a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to impact-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in narrow space, pairing a consistent oblique posture with rounded-square curves for a modern, kinetic look. Its construction emphasizes bold clarity and compact efficiency over softness or long-form comfort.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, and the condensed rhythm remains even in mixed-case settings. Rounded bowls paired with straight-sided stems create a distinctive, slightly squared silhouette in both letters and numerals, helping the design feel technical and contemporary rather than geometric-neutral.
