A heavy, condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes stay largely monolinear with rounded-rectangle curves, producing compact bowls and counters that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall geometry emphasizes tall verticals, narrow widths, and firm, squared-off joins that keep the texture dense and uniform in lines of text.
Best suited to high-impact headlines, banners, and short statements where dense letterforms and a strong slant enhance urgency. It works well for sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, packaging fronts, and bold editorial callouts where space is tight and visibility needs to be immediate.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, reading like a fast, forward-leaning display face. It carries a sporty, promotional attitude with a slightly retro, poster-like punch, prioritizing impact and momentum over softness or delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a condensed footprint, combining sturdy, monolinear construction with rounded-rectangular curves for a modern, engineered feel. The italicized stance suggests speed and emphasis, making it ideal for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and compressed, while the lowercase maintains a steady, practical rhythm suited to short passages. Numerals match the same condensed, slanted build, keeping headings and stats visually consistent.
