A heavy, condensed oblique sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are broadly uniform with subtle contrast, and terminals are clean and squared off with softly rounded corners that give curves a superelliptical feel. Round letters like O and C read as tightened ovals, while straight-sided forms (H, N, M, U) keep a sturdy, vertical rhythm even under the slant. Lowercase shapes are compact and utilitarian, with small apertures and a short-armed, compressed feel in letters like a, e, and s; numerals are similarly bold and tightly set for impact.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and branding where compact width and strong emphasis are helpful—such as sports identities, promotional posters, packaging callouts, and UI headers or badges. It also works well for bold, space-efficient titling in layouts that need large type in narrow columns.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a streamlined, engineered look with a sporty, poster-ready punch. Its slanted stance and dense black texture create a sense of speed and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle geometry keeps it contemporary rather than aggressive or sharp.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern sans voice. The superelliptical rounding and controlled apertures suggest a goal of staying contemporary and legible at display sizes, with an oblique stance that signals motion and emphasis.
The condensed width and strong slant create a tight typographic color that favors short bursts of text over long reading. Curves stay controlled and squared-in, producing a consistent, slightly mechanical rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
