A compact, oblique sans with heavy strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps counters tight and forms dense. Curves feel squared-off and superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving letters like C, O, and G a controlled, engineered softness. Stems and bowls maintain an even stroke presence with minimal modulation, while terminals are clean and blunt. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, producing a forward-leaning rhythm and a strong horizontal drive in text.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where density and forward motion help grab attention. It also fits branding systems that want a modern, athletic or industrial voice, and works well on packaging or labels where compact width is an advantage.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a sporty, headline-forward energy. Its rounded-but-tough construction reads contemporary and utilitarian, balancing approachability with punch. The steady oblique angle adds a sense of motion and urgency without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining smooth, rounded-rectangle forms for a contemporary, engineered feel. The consistent oblique stance and sturdy construction suggest a focus on motion, emphasis, and confident display readability.
Uppercase shapes are compact and tightly proportioned, while lowercase maintains the same firm, compressed feel with closed apertures and short extenders. Numerals are similarly sturdy and squat, matching the weight and slant for cohesive figure color in display settings.
