A tightly condensed, steeply slanted sans with monoline strokes and rounded, softened corners. The design builds letters from narrow vertical stems and compact bowls, with superellipse-like curves that keep counters small and controlled. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall silhouette is tall and compressed, giving words a dense, continuous rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning structure, with simple, legible forms and minimal ornamentation.
Well suited to bold headlines, poster typography, sports and entertainment graphics, and compact branding where space is limited but impact is needed. It can work for short subheads and callouts, while extended reading in small sizes may feel dense due to the tight counters and compressed proportions.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests speed and urgency. Its compact density reads as modern and functional, while the rounded construction keeps it from feeling harsh or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong slant with rounded, streamlined shapes to convey motion and contemporary energy.
In text settings the tight internal spacing and narrow counters create strong word shapes and high visual mass. The pronounced slant and compressed width make it most comfortable at display sizes, where letter differentiation and interior openings remain clear.
