A condensed, heavy sans with a pronounced forward slant and a compact, tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are cleanly cut, often on angles that reinforce motion. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, keeping bowls and counters sturdy and somewhat squared-off, while joins and corners stay softened rather than sharp. The overall color is dark and assertive, with narrow apertures and efficient spacing that favors punchy, headline-like setting over airy text textures.
Best suited to short, prominent copy where impact and speed are the goal—headlines, posters, sports branding, apparel graphics, and punchy packaging. It also works well for UI labels or badges when a strong, condensed voice is needed, provided sizes and contrast are sufficient to keep counters open.
The tone is fast, tough, and high-impact, evoking sports graphics, action branding, and performance-oriented messaging. Its slant and dense forms communicate urgency and forward momentum, while the rounded construction adds a contemporary, engineered feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangle forms for a modern, performance-driven look. It prioritizes bold presence, quick recognition, and a cohesive, engineered silhouette across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms read especially muscular and compressed, and the numerals share the same compact, angled stance for consistent lineup behavior. The lowercase maintains the same blocky superelliptical logic, creating a unified texture that stays bold even at smaller sizes, though tight counters can fill in if over-inked or reduced too far.
