A condensed, heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and a tall lowercase presence. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with corners and terminals softened into rounded-rectangle shapes that keep the texture smooth despite the weight. Curves are squarish and controlled, counters are tight, and joins are sturdy, producing a dense, high-ink rhythm. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines a forward-leaning, streamlined profile.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, display typography, sports and fitness branding, promotional posters, and attention-grabbing packaging. It can also work for directional or retail signage where a bold, condensed voice helps conserve horizontal space while staying prominent.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a punchy, compressed voice that suggests speed and performance. Its rounded, blocklike forms keep it approachable while still feeling tough and mechanical. The consistent slant adds momentum, making it feel geared toward action and emphasis rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, streamlined display feel. The emphasis is on speed, compactness, and consistent visual weight across the set.
At larger sizes the compact counters and strong slant create a cohesive, poster-like texture; in longer passages the density can feel intense and tightly packed. The oblique numerals and uppercase forms contribute to a uniform, engineered look across mixed-case settings.
