A compact, slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle curves. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with narrow counters and a forward-leaning stance, producing a strong horizontal rhythm. Curves read as smooth superelliptical bowls (notably in C, O, G, and lowercase o), while joins and terminals stay blunt and sturdy, keeping the texture dense and graphic. Numerals follow the same compressed, robust construction for consistent color in mixed settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, promotions, posters, and brand marks where a condensed, energetic voice helps conserve space while staying prominent. It also works well for punchy packaging callouts and title-card typography, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded shapes and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels fast, assertive, and attention-grabbing—more about impact than subtlety. Its forward slant and dense black shapes suggest motion and urgency, giving it a sporty, poster-like energy that reads as modern and street-level.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited width, pairing a forceful weight with a forward italic stance. The rounded-rectangle geometry and simplified detailing prioritize a strong silhouette and consistent texture for display typography that needs to feel fast and contemporary.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, compact construction, with single-storey lowercase forms and simplified apertures that favor bold silhouette over interior detail. The compressed spacing and narrow counters create a strong, contiguous texture that benefits from ample surrounding whitespace.
