A tightly condensed oblique sans with heavy, compact forms and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Strokes stay broadly even, with softened corners and squared terminals that keep the texture dense and continuous. Curves read as superelliptical rather than geometric circles, giving letters like C, O, and S a pressed, aerodynamic look. Spacing is economical and the overall rhythm is vertical and forceful, with simplified joins and minimal detailing for high-impact display use.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can work effectively in large sizes where its condensed, slanted forms emphasize motion and urgency, while long passages may feel visually intense due to the dense texture.
The slanted stance and compressed proportions create a sense of speed and forward drive. Its thick, compact silhouettes project confidence and urgency, leaning toward sporty and industrial cues rather than delicate or editorial ones.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, rounded-rectangle structure. The oblique angle and simplified, sturdy shapes suggest an intention to evoke speed, strength, and modern utility for attention-grabbing display typography.
The sample text shows a strong headline voice with high visual density; the oblique angle and narrow set make lines feel fast and compressed. Round characters maintain a consistently squared-off curvature, reinforcing a unified, engineered aesthetic across letters and numerals.
