A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact, blocky proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and joins/corners are softened into broad radii, creating a superelliptical, machined feel. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, while terminals are blunt and squared-off; several shapes show subtle notch-like cut-ins that read as ink-trap-inspired detailing. The rhythm is dense and punchy, favoring strong silhouettes and tight internal space over open readability at small sizes.
Best suited to short, bold settings where impact matters most: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and packaging callouts. It can work for brief subheads or emphasized text in UI/graphics, but the dense counters and compressed texture make it less ideal for long reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a fast, athletic slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its chunky forms and tight counters give it a tough, utilitarian voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than delicate or literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited space, pairing a strong slant with rounded-rectangular geometry for a modern, energetic look. The subtle cut-ins and tight interiors suggest an emphasis on robust reproduction in bold display contexts while maintaining a cohesive, engineered silhouette.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create a strong horizontal drive, and the tight apertures and small counters become more pronounced in longer lines. Numerals match the same compact, muscular construction, keeping a consistent, poster-ready texture across mixed text.
