A condensed, forward-slanted sans with sturdy, slightly rounded stroke terminals and a crisp, engineered silhouette. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters like O/C/G a streamlined, chamfered feel. Strokes show subtle thick–thin modulation that’s most noticeable in curved joins and diagonals, while overall weight remains strong and even enough for bold display. The lowercase is compact and upright in structure despite the slant, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, efficient ascenders/descenders; figures are similarly condensed with open, legible shapes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its condensed width and slanted momentum can carry impact—headlines, event posters, product marks, and sports or tech-themed graphics. It can work for punchy subheads and callouts, but the dense rhythm suggests avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The font reads fast and energetic, with a sense of speed and motion reinforced by the consistent slant and compressed rhythm. Its squared curves and punchy weight add a sporty, tech-leaning edge, while the slightly rounded finishing keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-impact voice with a sense of speed, leveraging squared curves and subtle contrast to create a modern, performance-oriented look while keeping counters open for readability.
Distinctive details include a modular, almost stencil-like curvature in places (especially around bowls and joins) and lively letterforms that maintain clear differentiation at display sizes. The overall texture is tight and rhythmic, producing dense lines without feeling cluttered.
