A condensed, forward-leaning sans with monolinear strokes and smoothly rounded corners throughout. Curves read as superelliptical—more like rounded rectangles than perfect circles—giving counters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly clean and squared-off with softened edges, and joins stay tight and controlled, producing a dense texture in text. Capitals are tall and streamlined; lowercase forms are compact with simple, open construction, and the numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect geometry for a consistent rhythm across lines.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-to-medium display text where a compact, energetic sans is desired. It can work well for brand systems that need a modern, motion-forward feel—such as sports, fitness, tech, and transportation—especially in space-constrained layouts like packaging, labels, and signage.
The overall tone is fast and purposeful, with a contemporary, aerodynamic slant. Rounded corners soften the voice just enough to keep it approachable, while the condensed proportions and steady stroke weight keep it confident and punchy. It suggests motion, efficiency, and a slightly technical edge.
The design appears intended to combine the efficiency of a condensed italic sans with the friendliness of rounded, superellipse-based forms. It prioritizes a strong silhouette, tight spacing, and consistent geometry so text feels streamlined and contemporary while retaining clean readability at display sizes.
The italic angle is noticeable and consistent, helping headings feel active and directional. In longer samples the narrow set builds a strong vertical cadence, and the rounded-square counters keep forms legible while maintaining a compact, space-saving profile.
