A tall, tightly spaced sans with a consistent stroke weight and an overall oblique slant. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, giving O/C/G and the bowls of letters a smooth, squared-round geometry rather than purely circular construction. Terminals are clean and mostly vertical-cut, while joins are simplified and open, keeping the texture crisp at small sizes. The set maintains a compact rhythm with narrow proportions and a slightly elastic feel between straight stems and rounded corners.
Best suited to display work where a compact footprint and strong forward motion are assets—headlines, posters, product marks, and branding systems that need a condensed, energetic voice. It can also work for short UI labels or technical readouts where narrow width helps fit tight spaces, though the slant and condensed build make it more impactful than neutral for long text.
The typeface reads fast and modern with a retro-leaning, speed-driven tone. Its condensed, slanted stance and rounded-square curves suggest motion and efficiency, producing a confident, utilitarian voice that feels at home in performance and tech contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-velocity sans with softened, superelliptic roundness—balancing strict, technical structure with approachable curves. Its consistent stroke and simplified detailing prioritize clarity and a unified, sporty texture across letters and numerals.
Uppercase shapes are especially lean and uniform, while lowercase introduces more distinctive, looped forms (notably in letters like a, g, and y), adding personality without breaking the streamlined system. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded-corner construction, maintaining consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
