A condensed, heavy sans with a consistent left-leaning oblique stance. Strokes are monolinear and form compact, squared counters with softened, superellipse-like rounding and frequent chamfered terminals. Curves are minimized in favor of straight-sided bowls and notched joins, producing a tightly packed rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals follow the same rigid, engineered geometry, with squared apertures and sturdy, poster-like silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed matter—headlines, posters, and brand marks that want a compressed, high-energy voice. It also works well on packaging or labels that benefit from a bold, industrial tone, and in short UI/graphic treatments where a compact, emphatic oblique can carry the message.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanical, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its slanted, compressed forms feel fast and urgent, while the squared, machined details add a techno/retro display character.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a tight horizontal footprint, combining squared, superellipse-like geometry with angular cut details to create a fast, engineered identity.
The design relies on distinctive cut-ins, angled terminals, and rectangular counters to create personality without adding contrast. Spacing reads compact in text, and the oblique slant is pronounced enough to drive motion in headlines and short bursts of copy.
