A compact, condensed sans with a strong rightward slant and heavy, uniform strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than circular. Terminals are clean and blunt, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that keep the forms dense and punchy. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed stance, creating a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm with minimal interior whitespace.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, bold packaging callouts, and attention-demanding signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough and spaced carefully, but it is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a sporty, high-impact voice that feels made for motion and emphasis. Its squared rounding adds an industrial, utilitarian edge, while the italic angle injects urgency and momentum. The result reads as confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward headline energy rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed through its consistent slant. Its superelliptical construction suggests a deliberate blend of blunt sturdiness and softened corners, aiming for a modern, engineered look that remains approachable. Overall, it prioritizes bold visibility and graphic punch over delicate detail.
In the text sample, the dense letterfit and compact counters create a dark, continuous texture, especially in longer lines and in words with many rounded letters. The rounded-rect construction helps maintain clarity in tight widths, but the heavy fill and narrow openings make it most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous tracking.
