A condensed, slanted sans with heavy, uniform stroke weight and tightly controlled spacing. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a compact, superelliptical feel rather than perfectly circular forms. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and crisp joins that keep the silhouette sharp at display sizes. Overall proportions are tall with short extenders and compact apertures, producing a dense, energetic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. The dense construction and slant help it command attention, especially when set large or with ample surrounding whitespace.
The tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and emphasis. Its compact, punchy shapes read as utilitarian and performance-oriented, lending an energetic, no-nonsense voice to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, pairing a forward-leaning rhythm with rounded-rectangle structure for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent weight to keep messages bold and immediate in display applications.
Uppercase forms maintain strong verticality despite the slant, while rounded letters keep a squared-off softness at the corners. Numerals match the same compact, weighty construction, supporting consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
