A heavy, tightly set oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls. Strokes are monolinear with blunt, squared terminals softened by generous corner rounding, producing a strong, blocky silhouette without sharp finials. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be closed, emphasizing density and punch at display sizes. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with a forward-leaning rhythm and simplified, geometric construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a condensed, slanted, high-impact voice is needed. It works well for sports and action-oriented identities, packaging callouts, event graphics, and short marketing lines, especially when set large with moderate tracking.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary—suggesting speed, impact, and confidence. Its dense shapes and strong slant evoke athletic branding and high-energy headlines, reading as loud and decisive rather than subtle or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, modern geometry. The consistent oblique angle and rounded-rectangle forms prioritize speed and emphasis, making it a purpose-built display sans for energetic, attention-grabbing typography.
The uppercase set is especially compact and rectangular in feel, while the lowercase maintains a tall, upright structure inside the slant, keeping word shapes stable. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded geometry, supporting cohesive headline setting across mixed content. Because counters are tight and strokes are heavy, clarity is strongest when given ample size and breathing room.
