A tightly condensed, heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with minimal modulation, producing a strong, ink-rich texture. Curves and joins feel smooth and inflated rather than sharp, while terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the silhouette straightforward and highly graphic. Overall spacing is tight, and the slant creates a forward-leaning rhythm that reads as fast and forceful.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports and fitness branding, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for logos and wordmarks where a compact footprint and strong presence are priorities.
The font projects speed and intensity, with a punchy, athletic tone suited to attention-grabbing messaging. Its compressed width and aggressive slant add urgency, while the rounded forms keep the feel modern and approachable rather than spiky or retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded, superelliptical construction for a contemporary, high-energy voice.
In text, the strong compression and weight create high visual momentum but can reduce clarity in longer passages; it performs best when set with generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, forward-leaning stance, supporting bold, unified typographic blocks.
