A compact, tightly spaced sans with a pronounced rightward slant and dense, heavy strokes. The letterforms are built from softened, rounded-rectangle geometry, keeping curves smooth and corners gently eased rather than sharp. Proportions are tall and compressed, with short crossbars and enclosed counters that read as small but clean, producing a strong vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow, forward-leaning stance, giving text a consistent, energetic texture.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a compact, high-impact word shape is useful. It fits well in posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a sporty or action-oriented feel, and can work for punchy subheads or callouts when set with generous leading.
The overall tone feels energetic and competitive, with a brisk, forward-moving posture that suggests motion and urgency. Its rounded construction keeps the voice friendly enough for contemporary branding, while the condensed heft and slant add a distinctly sporty, retro-leaning confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with a strong slanted stance for motion. Rounded, superelliptical construction keeps the style cohesive and approachable while preserving a bold, attention-grabbing presence.
In continuous text the tight width and strong slant create a prominent diagonal flow, while the rounded terminals prevent the forms from feeling harsh. The compact counters and dense color make it most effective when given adequate size and breathing room in line spacing.
