A tightly condensed, sharply slanted sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and compact proportions. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and apertures a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than true circular rounds. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with subtly softened corners that keep the dense black shapes from feeling brittle. Spacing is economical and the overall rhythm is brisk, with tall, stacked verticals and compact joins that maintain a consistent, solid texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where speed and impact matter: headlines, posters, sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It performs especially well in short lines and stacked layouts where condensed width and strong color help maximize presence in limited space.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning posture that reads as fast, competitive, and action-oriented. Its dense, compact forms suggest performance and utility, evoking signage, sports branding, and bold editorial display rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint, pairing a steep slant with superelliptical construction to convey motion and modern utility. The softened corners balance the aggressive stance, aiming for a bold, durable look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The numerals and uppercase share a unified, engineered construction, while the lowercase keeps the same compressed stance for a cohesive, high-impact line. Rounded corners and squared counters create a distinctive silhouette at larger sizes, and the steep slant amplifies motion in headlines and short phrases.
