A condensed, slanted sans with compact proportions and a strong forward lean. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness, producing a clean, solid color, while corners and curves are rounded into squarish, superellipse-like bowls. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are narrowed by the compression, giving the design a dense rhythm. The lowercase shows tall extenders and a tall x-height, and numerals follow the same compressed, sturdy construction for a cohesive, headline-driven texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where space is tight but impact is needed. It works well for sports and action-oriented branding, event promotions, packaging callouts, and large-format signage, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer copy.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary—built to communicate motion and intensity. Its narrow, slanted forms suggest speed and confidence, lending a sporty, promotional feel without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a narrow footprint, combining a strong slant with rounded-rectangle geometry to project speed and modernity. It prioritizes punchy, compact display typography and consistent, high-energy texture across letters and figures.
Round letters such as O/Q and bowls in B/P/R keep a rounded-rectangle skeleton rather than a purely circular one, which helps maintain consistent width and a unified silhouette across the set. The heavy, compact shapes create strong word images that favor short bursts of text over relaxed reading.
