A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and subtly squared curves. Strokes are monoline and compact, with soft corner radii that keep the forms from feeling sharp. The reverse-italic slant and tight interior counters create a brisk, compressed rhythm, while the tall lowercase makes words read as a continuous vertical texture. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, superelliptical logic, giving the set a highly uniform, engineered feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product marks, and packaging where a dense footprint and strong silhouette are assets. It can also work for sports and event graphics, UI labels, and signage where a mechanical, compact sans is desired, with care taken for longer text due to the tight counters and compressed spacing.
The overall tone is muscular and utilitarian, with a sporty, poster-forward energy. Its rounded-rect geometry and left-leaning attitude evoke machinery, scoreboard lettering, and retro-futuristic signage rather than quiet editorial typography.
This design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle forms for a cohesive, industrial-modern voice. The consistent reverse slant suggests an intention to add motion and attitude without resorting to decorative details.
Round forms like O/Q and bowls tend toward squarish ovals with compact apertures, and joins are kept sturdy to preserve weight at small sizes. The slant is consistent across cases, helping long lines feel like they’re moving forward, while the condensed widths keep headlines dense and impactful.
