A compact, oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly fit proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are mostly blunt and sheared, with consistent slant across letters and figures, producing a forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are relatively narrow and apertures tend to be small, emphasizing a dense texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and sports or performance-oriented branding. It can work well on packaging and labels where a compact, energetic voice is needed and space is at a premium.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a utilitarian, athletic edge. Its compressed stance and steady slant suggest motion and efficiency, while the softened rectangular curves keep it from feeling harsh or overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed footprint, combining an italicized sense of speed with sturdy, rounded-rectilinear forms for a modern, industrial feel.
The figures and capitals read with a strong, poster-like presence, and the alphabet shows a consistent, engineered construction from straight segments and rounded corners. The dense spacing and compact counters create high visual impact but can feel tight in longer passages, especially at smaller sizes.
