A condensed, heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and a tight horizontal footprint. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep counters smooth and controlled rather than fully circular. Terminals are clean and largely squared-off with subtly softened corners; joins are crisp and the overall rhythm is vertical and punchy. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a fast, forward-leaning texture in text. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the letters’ compact width and solid fill.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, and attention-grabbing packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or signage where a condensed footprint and strong presence are useful, though the dense texture suggests using comfortable tracking and line spacing in longer passages.
The font projects speed and impact, with a tone that feels athletic and headline-driven. Its forward slant and condensed massing give it an assertive, action-oriented voice that reads as modern and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a consistent oblique stance with sturdy, simplified forms. The rounded-rectangle curves and uniform stroke weight aim for a contemporary, industrial clarity while preserving a sense of motion.
Capitals are tall and tightly spaced in feel, while lowercase forms remain highly compact with short extenders relative to the overall heft, keeping word shapes dense. The rounded-rectangle construction shows most clearly in bowls and curved joins, which stay firm and slightly squarish even at large sizes.
