A condensed, forward-slanted sans with rounded, superelliptic bowls and blunt, softly tapered stroke endings. Curves are smooth and continuous, with tight apertures and compact counters that keep the silhouette dense and vertical. Stems feel slightly elastic rather than rigid, and joins often pinch subtly, giving an ink-trap-like notchiness in places (notably in forms like S, a, and g). The rhythm is energetic and upright in spacing, with narrow letterfit and a consistent, display-oriented texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is best suited to short, prominent text where its condensed, kinetic shapes can create impact—headlines, posters, brand marks, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits sports and lifestyle graphics, event promotions, and signage where a fast, energetic tone is desirable. For longer passages, it will work most comfortably at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone reads fast and upbeat, with a retro athletic flavor and a friendly swagger. Its slant and compactness suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result feels expressive and attention-seeking—more headline than body text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint, pairing rounded superellipse forms with a pronounced slant to convey speed and modernity. Subtle pinched joins and compact counters reinforce a crisp, high-energy texture that stays coherent across a wide glyph set.
Capital forms are tall and streamlined, with simplified construction that emphasizes silhouette over internal detail. Lowercase shapes keep a compact, single-storey sensibility in key letters, and punctuation appears minimal but sturdy in the sample. Numerals match the same condensed, slanted stance, producing a cohesive, poster-like system.
