A condensed, heavy oblique sans with rounded, superellipse-like construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are softened rather than sharply cut, producing compact counters and a dense texture. The slant is pronounced and uniform, with tightly fit sidebearings and an overall tall silhouette; lowercase forms read sturdy and upright in structure despite the forward lean. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, rounded-rectangle logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and attention-grabbing packaging. It can work for signage or editorial display where compact width is useful, but extended reading and small sizes may feel dense due to the heavy strokes and tight counters.
The face projects speed and pressure—confident, punchy, and energetic. Its tight proportions and forward slant evoke athletic branding and headline urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps the tone modern rather than industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded, modernized forms for contemporary display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show a squarish oval (superellipse) tendency, and terminals generally resolve into blunt, softened ends. The bold massing makes internal spaces small, so the design’s clarity depends on generous sizing and restrained line lengths.
