A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and smooth, rounded joins. Strokes maintain an even thickness throughout, with minimal modulation and firmly cut terminals that keep counters open in letters like C, S, and e. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase shows a straightforward, single-storey construction with an energetic forward lean and slightly tightened spacing that increases visual density. Numerals are robust and clear, matching the same blunt, no-nonsense rhythm as the letters.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports and performance-themed graphics, retail signage, packaging callouts, and UI emphasis text where a strong, forward-moving sans can carry hierarchy without relying on ornament.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, projecting speed and confidence. Its dense black presence and slanted posture read as action-oriented and contemporary, with a pragmatic, engineered feel rather than decorative softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, emphatic sans-serif voice with high visual weight and a built-in sense of motion. It prioritizes clarity and punch in display contexts, balancing rounded geometry with sturdy terminals for a contemporary, utilitarian finish.
The italic structure is integrated into the letterforms rather than appearing as a simple slant, giving diagonals (K, V, W, X) a crisp, directional emphasis. Round glyphs (O, Q, 0) stay smooth and controlled, helping maintain legibility at display sizes while preserving a strong, condensed-looking color on the page.
