A compact, highly condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: curves feel squared-off at the extremes, with softened corners and tight internal counters. Capitals are tall and uniform, while the lowercase keeps a large x-height with short ascenders/descenders, creating a dense vertical rhythm. Spacing is economical and sidebearings appear tight, producing an efficient, stacked texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited to short to medium-length display text where space is limited and impact is required—headlines, posters, product packaging, sports and fitness branding, and attention-grabbing signage. The compact width and strong slant also work well for labels, UI callouts, and promotional graphics that need to read quickly.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and utilitarian, with a strong sense of forward motion from the oblique angle and compressed width. Its squared-round construction reads modern and engineered, lending a sporty, no-nonsense voice that suits high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a compact footprint with a dynamic italic stance. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an aim toward a contemporary, engineered feel that stays legible and consistent in bold display settings.
Round letters such as O/C/G and the numerals show a superelliptical, squarish curvature rather than purely circular bowls, which helps the design stay stable at heavy stroke weights. The italics are drawn as true oblique forms rather than simply skewed, keeping terminals and joins crisp and consistent. Numerals are clear and punchy, matching the condensed proportions of the letters for tight, aligned tabular-style runs.
