A compact, slanted sans with heavy, dense strokes and softly rounded corners throughout. Curves and counters are built from squarish, superelliptical shapes, giving round letters a tightened, rectangular feel. The rhythm is tightly spaced with short extenders and broad, sturdy joins, producing a strong, poster-friendly texture. Numerals share the same blocky curvature and compact proportions, reading as stout and high-ink forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports or fitness branding, promotional graphics, and packaging callouts. It holds up well in large sizes where its compact width and heavy forms can create dense, attention-grabbing blocks of text.
The overall tone is loud, fast, and competitive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and urgency. Its rounded-rectangular geometry keeps the voice contemporary and utilitarian rather than retro, while the weight and compression add a confident, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward slant with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, energetic voice. It prioritizes bold presence and brisk readability in display typography over subtle typographic nuance.
Diagonal strokes (notably in letters like N, V, W, and X) emphasize the slant and reinforce a sense of motion. The lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey feel where applicable, prioritizing bold silhouettes and quick recognition over delicate detail.
