A compact, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with minimal modulation and a strong rightward slant that creates a forward rhythm. Counters are tight but clean, and the curves lean toward superelliptical geometry rather than circular bowls, giving round letters a squared-off, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and rounded, and spacing is tuned for dense, headline-like setting while maintaining legibility in mixed case and numerals.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or automotive-themed graphics, and bold branding systems. The condensed, slanted silhouette helps fit more characters into limited horizontal space, making it useful for packaging callouts, labels, and promotional typography where a dynamic presence is desired.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a streamlined, performance-oriented feel. The rounded corners keep it approachable while the slant and condensed proportions add urgency and motion. It reads as confident and utilitarian rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, fast-moving sans that feels engineered and contemporary, combining condensed proportions with rounded superellipse geometry for a distinctive, branded voice. Its consistent stroke weight and compact spacing prioritize punchy display readability over long-form comfort.
Distinctive forms include a single-storey lowercase “a,” a compact “t” with a short crossbar, and numerals that match the same rounded, heavy, oblique structure. The uppercase shows simplified, geometric construction, and the lowercase maintains a steady, mechanical rhythm suited to tight line lengths.
