A condensed, heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that soften corners while keeping a blocky silhouette. Counters are small but clear, terminals are mostly blunt, and the slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The overall texture is dense and rhythmic, optimized for impact rather than airiness.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works for signage or UI banners where space is tight but presence is required; extended small text will feel dense due to the compact counters.
The font conveys speed and force, with a no-nonsense, competitive tone. Its compressed width and strong slant read as energetic and forward-moving, while the rounded geometry keeps it contemporary rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a tight horizontal footprint, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectangular curves for a modern, athletic display voice.
Uppercase forms feel billboard-like and compact, with wide shoulders and squared-off bowls; lowercase follows the same sturdy construction with single-storey shapes and minimal detailing. Numerals are heavy and straightforward, matching the condensed stance and maintaining strong alignment for big, attention-grabbing figures.
