A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves throughout. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be relatively closed, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Terminals are clean and squared-off with softened corners, and the overall construction favors tall proportions and tight internal space for a streamlined, fast rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same compact, rounded geometry, keeping the set visually consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form copy where impact and momentum matter. It can work well for sports and fitness branding, event promotion, product packaging, and bold signage, particularly when set with ample tracking or in larger sizes to preserve clarity.
The strong slant and compressed proportions give the face a sense of speed and forward motion. Its tight, punchy shapes read as contemporary and performance-minded, with an assertive tone suited to energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, condensed voice with a modern, rounded-rectangular skeleton—balancing toughness with smooth corners for a controlled, contemporary presence.
Round letters maintain a squarish silhouette rather than true circles, reinforcing a technical, engineered feel. The combination of heavy weight and narrow set increases perceived intensity, especially in all-caps and short lines where the slant becomes a prominent stylistic cue.
