A condensed, heavy sans with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Strokes are thick and stable with only modest contrast, and terminals are clean and blunt with subtly rounded corners. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall capitals and sturdy numerals that keep their shapes crisp at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and promotional graphics where density and slant add momentum. It can also work on packaging and social media ads when you need a compact, loud voice that stays legible at display sizes.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, combining weight and slant to suggest speed and impact. Its rounded-rectangle construction softens the aggression just enough to feel contemporary and engineered rather than rough. The result reads as sporty, promotional, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while conveying motion through an italic stance. Its rounded-rectangle construction aims for a modern, engineered personality that remains friendly enough for broad commercial use.
Counters are generally compact, contributing to a dense color that holds together in headlines. Several glyphs show a slightly squarish curvature in shoulders and bowls, reinforcing the superelliptical feel across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same compact, heavy logic for consistent typographic color in mixed text.
