A condensed oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and softened corners. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with compact apertures and sturdy joins that hold up in dense settings. Numerals and capitals follow the same streamlined, engineered construction, producing a cohesive, display-leaning texture.
Works best for headlines and short, high-impact text where its condensed, slanted forms can signal speed and confidence. It also suits sports and tech branding, packaging callouts, and UI labels where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a contemporary, engineered character. Its slanted stance and compact proportions suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded-square shaping keeps it friendly and controlled rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver a modern, performance-oriented voice in a compact width, using rounded-square geometry to balance toughness with approachability. The consistent oblique structure and sturdy stroke weight aim for clarity and punch in display contexts.
Several letters show the characteristic squared-bowl construction (notably forms like C, G, O/Q, and the rounded parts of B/D/P/R), reinforcing a consistent superellipse motif across cases and figures. The italic angle is steady and the spacing appears tuned for compact impact, yielding a dark, continuous typographic color.
