A compact, forward-slanted sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and tight internal spacing. Curves are built from rounded, superellipse-like forms, giving counters a squarish-round feel rather than perfectly circular bowls. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, with a consistent, engineered rhythm; diagonals and joins are crisp, and the overall silhouette reads dense and assertive in both upper- and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where impact and pace matter—headlines, posters, branding systems, packaging, and promotional graphics. The dense proportions and strong slant also make it effective for sports, tech, and transportation-themed design where a dynamic voice is desired.
The slant and compact build create a sense of motion and urgency, with a contemporary, performance-oriented tone. Its rounded-rectangle curves add a slightly technical, industrial polish that feels practical rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern sans voice with confident weight and compact economy, while using rounded-rectangle curves to keep forms orderly and contemporary. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent rhythm for high-impact typography in short-to-medium bursts of text.
Uppercase shapes stay relatively geometric and enclosed (notably in C/G/O/Q), while lowercase retains a simple, workhorse construction with clear differentiation between straight stems and rounded bowls. Numerals appear robust and legible, matching the same compact, forward-driven stance as the letters.
