A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in the curves. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth, simplified joins, producing a dense silhouette and strong color on the page. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) lean into superelliptical shapes with softened corners rather than perfect circles, while counters stay relatively small and sturdy. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, and the slant gives the whole set a forward-leaning rhythm; figures follow the same solid, chunky logic for a cohesive typographic texture.
Best suited to headlines, short emphatic statements, and display settings where strong typographic impact is needed. It can work well for branding in energetic categories (sports, fitness, streetwear) and for packaging or promotional graphics that benefit from a compact, high-density look.
The overall tone is forceful and fast, with a distinctly sporty, action-oriented feel. The bold slant and compact spacing read as confident and attention-grabbing, suited to messages that need punch and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while keeping forms friendly through rounded geometry. The oblique angle adds motion and urgency, suggesting a display face built for prominent, high-contrast messaging rather than quiet body text.
Uppercase forms feel particularly condensed and block-like, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation through familiar single-storey structures and sturdy ascenders/descenders. The numerals are thick and legible, matching the same rounded, compressed voice as the letters.
