A compact, heavy oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, uniform strokes. Counters are tight and openings are small, giving letters a dense, punchy texture in lines of text. Curves tend toward superellipse-like bowls, while diagonals and joins stay clean and simplified for a sturdy, poster-friendly silhouette. Terminals are blunt and edges are softly rounded, creating a cohesive, streamlined feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, event posters, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or promotional signage. It performs well when you want a dense, energetic typographic block and can give single words or short phrases a strong, kinetic presence.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a strong forward lean that suggests motion and drive. Its dense proportions and dark color make it feel emphatic and attention-grabbing, leaning toward sporty and promotional messaging rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining friendly rounded forms. Its simplified geometry and consistent stroke weight prioritize bold clarity and a modern, motion-forward voice for display typography.
The oblique angle is consistent across the set and pairs with compact sidebearings to create a continuous, high-impact rhythm. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric strings maintain an even, bold presence.
