A condensed, forward-slanted sans with a compact footprint and sturdy, even strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circularity. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with subtly radiused corners that keep the texture smooth at display sizes. The overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with consistent stroke width and a slightly mechanical geometry across letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines and compact display settings where space is limited but impact is needed, such as sports branding, posters, product packaging, and wayfinding or venue signage. It can work for short subheads and UI callouts, but long paragraphs may feel tight due to the compressed width and strong slant.
The slant and compressed proportions convey speed and urgency, while the softened square curves add a technical, engineered feel. The tone reads assertive and performance-oriented, with a faint retro sports-and-signage vibe rather than a formal editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, confident voice in a space-saving, display-focused form. Its superelliptical construction suggests an aim for a modern, industrial clarity while maintaining a smooth, approachable edge through rounded corners.
In the sample text, the narrow set and strong diagonals create a dense, high-impact line color that favors short bursts of text. Numerals match the letterforms in their squared, rounded structure, supporting a cohesive system for scores, specs, and headlines.
