A condensed, slanted sans with heavy, compact forms and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes stay largely uniform with low modulation, creating a dense, consistent color in text. Counters are tight and openings are controlled, while terminals tend toward blunt cuts that reinforce the engineered feel. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and vertical, with tall capitals and compact lowercase that keep lines economical and impactful.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. It can work for brief subheads and UI labels when strong emphasis is desired, but its dense texture and tight counters are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads fast and assertive, with a driven, performance-oriented tone. Its compressed stance and oblique angle suggest motion and urgency, giving it an energetic, modern presence that feels at home in competitive or high-intensity contexts.
The design appears intended to combine a compact footprint with a sense of speed and strength, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep shapes modern and cohesive. Its emphasis on uniform stroke weight and condensed proportions suggests a focus on bold messaging and space-efficient display typography.
The numerals are sturdy and headline-ready, matching the condensed proportions of the letters. In longer samples, the tight spacing and dense strokes create strong emphasis, favoring display sizes where the angular slant and rounded geometry remain clear.
