A compact, slanted sans with heavy strokes and tight proportions. Curves are smooth and rounded, with broadly uniform stroke thickness and minimal modulation. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, giving the forms a crisp, cut-from-solid feel. The rhythm is dense with relatively narrow counters, and the overall construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for a strong, cohesive texture.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where impact and momentum are desired. It can also work for sports-oriented branding, packaging callouts, and short signage phrases where a compact, high-energy sans is beneficial.
The tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a confident, sporty attitude. Its assertive weight and slant read as contemporary and action-oriented, suggesting speed, urgency, and emphasis without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful, modern sans voice with a sense of motion, combining compact widths and a consistent slant for emphatic display typography. The rounded construction and clean terminals aim for broad usability while maintaining a distinctly assertive presence.
At larger sizes the font projects a strong graphic presence, while at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense spacing can make the text color feel dark and compact. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, supporting consistent emphasis in mixed alphanumeric settings.
