A compact, heavily weighted slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are broadly uniform, with blunt terminals and subtly softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp despite the mass. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures and short crossbars that emphasize a tall, compressed silhouette. Curves in letters like O/C/G are smooth and squarish, while diagonals in A/V/W/Y and the numerals are sturdy and stable, preserving consistent color in display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, promo graphics, and sports or event branding. It also works well for packaging callouts and bold signage where a compact footprint and strong presence are more important than extended readability at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, reading as fast and high-impact. Its compressed, forward-leaning posture gives it a competitive, sporty feel, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result is a modern headline voice that signals urgency and momentum.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a contemporary, rounded-geometry aesthetic. The slant and dense proportions prioritize speed and emphasis, suggesting a display-first intention for branding and attention-grabbing typography.
Lowercase is built to hold up under heavy weight, with simplified joins and reduced openings that favor solid texture over delicate detail. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted logic, making them suitable for scoreboard-like settings where a strong, unified typographic color is desired.
