A condensed oblique sans with monoline strokes and softened, rounded-corner geometry. Curves and bowls tend toward squared-off superellipse shapes rather than perfect circles, giving letters a slightly engineered feel. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with gentle rounding that keeps the texture smooth. Counters are fairly open for the width, and the overall rhythm is upright enough to read clearly while maintaining a consistent forward slant.
Well-suited to short-to-medium headlines where a sense of speed and compactness helps, such as sports branding, event posters, and energetic packaging. The clear, monoline construction also fits labels, UI accents, and directional/wayfinding graphics when space is tight. It can work in brief text blocks at larger sizes where the oblique slant is an intentional stylistic cue.
The font projects motion and efficiency, with a sporty, streamlined tone. Its rounded-square shapes and italic stance evoke retro athletic and technical lettering, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to combine compact, space-saving proportions with a dynamic forward slant and softened rectangular curves. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded-corner construction suggest a goal of modern legibility with a retro-technical character, optimized for impactful display use.
Uppercase forms are compact and vertical, with straightforward construction and restrained detailing. Lowercase maintains the same oblique momentum and rounded terminals; punctuation such as the i/j dots and the comma follow the same softened, utilitarian styling. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the condensed proportions and rounded-square curvature.
