A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squared-off, superelliptical feel. Proportions are tightly condensed with short extenders and firm terminals; joins are smooth and continuous, producing a cohesive, aerodynamic texture in text. Figures follow the same compact rhythm with broad, stable forms and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to short-to-medium headline settings where impact and speed are priorities—sports and fitness identities, event posters, bold editorial callouts, and punchy packaging. Its condensed footprint helps fit more characters into tight spaces, making it useful for signage-style labeling and attention-grabbing UI headers when ample size is available.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a utilitarian, performance-driven character. Its slanted stance and tightly packed shapes suggest motion and efficiency, lending a contemporary, sporty voice that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-energy voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing dense texture, strong presence, and a sense of forward motion in display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G lean toward squared counters, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are robust and clean, reinforcing a mechanical consistency. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, compact skeleton, maintaining strong word-shape even at heavier color and tighter spacing.
