A condensed oblique sans with a clean, engineered build and subtly rounded corners. Strokes stay largely monoline, with smooth joins and open apertures that keep the forms crisp despite the slant. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-round feel, while terminals are mostly straight or softly sheared to match the angle. Overall spacing is compact and rhythmic, producing a tight, forward-leaning texture in both caps and lowercase.
Works best in short-to-medium display settings where a compact, high-energy voice is useful—branding, poster headlines, sports and automotive graphics, and product surfaces. It can also serve interface labels or navigation where space is tight and a modern, forward-leaning emphasis is desired.
The slanted stance and condensed proportions create a sense of speed and purpose. Its rounded-rect geometry reads contemporary and utilitarian, with a tone that feels sporty and technical rather than decorative or literary.
Likely designed to deliver an efficient, space-saving sans with a built-in sense of motion. The superelliptical rounding and steady stroke weight aim for a contemporary, industrial clarity that remains legible while projecting speed and confidence.
Capital forms are narrow and upright in construction but consistently sheared, helping headings feel dynamic without becoming calligraphic. Numerals follow the same compact, oblique logic and maintain clear silhouettes suited to fast scanning.
