A condensed, slanted sans with thick, even strokes and tightly packed proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than circular. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm. The overall color is dark and solid, with compact apertures and sturdy joins that keep letterforms crisp at display sizes.
Works best in display contexts where a compact, emphatic tone is needed—headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also serve for short subheads or labels where space is limited and a strong typographic color is desired.
The face projects speed and emphasis, with a strong, no-nonsense voice suited to high-energy communication. Its compact width and pronounced slant add urgency, while the rounded-square curves keep it contemporary and slightly technical rather than elegant or classic.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectilinear construction for a modern, performance-oriented look.
Uppercase forms feel engineered and uniform, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure with simple, heavy shapes. Numerals are similarly compact and robust, matching the dense texture of the letters for cohesive headlines and short bursts of copy.
