A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, even-weight strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are tight, and spacing is economical, producing a dense, forward-leaning texture in words. Lowercase forms read sturdy and upright within the slant, with simple, closed shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It performs well in short bursts—titles, labels, signage, and promotional copy—where the slanted, condensed forms can add urgency and motion without relying on decorative detailing.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, combining a utilitarian sans structure with a sporty, streamlined slant. Its compact rhythm and bold silhouettes project confidence and momentum, feeling contemporary and display-driven rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient sans that reads as modern and athletic, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the tone friendly while remaining forceful. The pronounced slant and compact width suggest an emphasis on speed, emphasis, and strong typographic color in display settings.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, rounded-rectangle construction, creating consistent color across mixed text. The strong slant and condensed width amplify emphasis in short lines and make the texture feel kinetic, especially in italicized word shapes and tight headlines.
