A condensed, right-slanted sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and many terminals finish with crisp, flat cuts. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, producing an even, monoline-like rhythm. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly boxy, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and energetic. Numerals and uppercase forms are compact and upright in structure despite the overall slant, giving the set a taut, engineered texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports or fitness branding, event graphics, product marks, and bold interface labeling where a compact, energetic voice helps. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefits from a tight footprint and strong silhouette.
The overall tone is fast and performance-oriented, with a modern, technical edge. Its compressed proportions and forward slant suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded-square geometry keeps it feeling contemporary rather than retro or calligraphic.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward slant with rounded-rectangle forms to communicate speed, modernity, and precision. The consistent stroke weight and clipped terminals prioritize clarity and punch over softness or ornament.
Rounded corners are present but restrained, creating a mix of toughness and polish. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes with clear counters, and the punctuation in the sample text sits cleanly within the same angular-yet-rounded design language.
