A compact, heavily weighted sans with a consistent rightward slant and tightly controlled proportions. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and squared-off with subtly rounded corners that give the shapes a superelliptical feel. Counters are small and sturdy, apertures are restrained, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, creating a strong, poster-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display typography where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, bold editorial callouts, and punchy packaging. It can also work for compact signage or interface labels when set large enough to preserve internal shapes.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning, action-oriented feel. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, conveying speed, urgency, and a confident, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed footprint with a strong slanted stance. Rounded-rectangular construction and uniform stroke weight suggest a goal of modern, simplified forms that stay robust under heavy weight and tight spacing.
In text settings the tight fit and small counters create a dark, continuous color, so short bursts of copy and large sizes feel most comfortable. Numerals share the same compact, blocky construction and integrate well with all-caps and mixed-case settings.
