This typeface is a compact, heavy, right-slanted sans with tightly packed proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters and softly radiused corners that keep the dense shapes from feeling brittle. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and many forms are slightly sheared, emphasizing speed and direction. The lowercase is built for punchy readability at display sizes, with sturdy bowls and minimal detailing; figures are similarly blocky and forward-leaning.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and high-impact branding where a condensed, energetic voice is needed. It fits sports and fitness graphics, event and promotional posters, packaging callouts, and editorial display lines where space is limited but visibility must remain high.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, suggesting motion, pressure, and emphasis. Its compressed stance and steep slant create a sense of urgency and competitiveness, while the rounded interior shaping adds a contemporary, engineered finish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a speed-driven slant with rounded, modern counters for a contemporary display voice. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a strong forward motion over fine typographic nuance.
The rhythm is optimized for short bursts of text: tight sidebearings, strong silhouettes, and simplified construction that holds together under heavy weight. Curves and diagonals are prominent, and the oblique stress gives even simple words a dynamic, poster-like presence.
