A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and smooth, rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Strokes stay broadly even, with subtle modulation from the slant and tight joins rather than sharp contrast. Counters are relatively small and enclosed, giving letters a dense, ink-rich silhouette; terminals tend to be clean and blunt with softened corners. The overall rhythm is fast and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and simplified, geometric curves that keep forms consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, promotions, and bold brand statements. It also fits sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and energetic campaign graphics where strong emphasis and a forward motion are desirable.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, conveying speed, strength, and contemporary practicality. Its pronounced slant and massed shapes feel energetic and competitive, leaning toward an athletic or action-oriented voice rather than a calm editorial one.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-geometric construction and an inherent sense of motion. The design prioritizes a strong silhouette and quick readability in display contexts, pairing robust weight with an italic stance for immediacy and emphasis.
At larger sizes the rounded geometry reads clearly and feels cohesive; in smaller settings the dense counters and tight apertures can make the texture feel darker and more forceful. Numerals match the letters in weight and stance, reinforcing a unified, headline-forward presence.
