A compact, right-leaning sans with tall proportions and tightly managed sidebearings. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves in bowls and counters that keep the shapes smooth while still feeling engineered. Terminals are mostly clean and clipped, and the joins are crisp, producing a disciplined rhythm in text. Uppercase forms read narrow and vertical, while the lowercase maintains a practical, workhorse structure with single-storey shapes where expected (notably the ‘a’), a compact ‘e’, and a looped ‘g’ that stays open and legible. Numerals are similarly condensed and sturdy, with an oval ‘0’ and straightforward, sign-like construction in the rest of the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, campaign lines, sports and fitness identities, packaging callouts, and signage where space is limited. It can work for brief UI labels or navigation text when a compact, emphatic voice is desired, but its dense color makes it more at home at display sizes than long reading.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a functional, performance-driven feel. Its slant and compressed width suggest speed and efficiency, while the rounded geometry softens the aggression just enough to keep it approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining smooth, contemporary curves. Its controlled geometry and consistent slant aim to communicate motion and confidence without decorative distractions.
Counters are relatively small for the weight, emphasizing density and color on the page. The italic construction reads as a true drawing rather than a simple oblique, with consistent slant and carefully controlled curvature across rounds and diagonals.
