A compact, heavy italic sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners that keep the forms sturdy rather than sharp. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and the slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a strong forward rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, and R, while open forms like C and S maintain smooth, continuous curves. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with simple, sturdy joins and short, practical terminals that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand moments where speed and impact are the priority. It can work well for sports or automotive-style identities, packaging callouts, and large-format signage where the condensed italic silhouette helps fit more characters while staying loud and legible.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a no-nonsense, performance-minded attitude. The compressed width and heavy mass give it a poster-like urgency, while the rounded geometry adds a controlled, engineered feel rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, combining a forceful italic stance with rounded, superelliptical shapes for a modern, engineered texture. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent rhythm for display typography and attention-grabbing messaging.
Capitals are tall and commanding, and the numerals share the same condensed, forward-leaning stance, helping mixed text look cohesive. The strong diagonal energy makes it especially attention-grabbing in short bursts, though the dense interior spaces suggest it will be most comfortable with generous tracking and line spacing when set in longer lines.
