A compact, forward-leaning sans with heavy, even stroke weight and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded, squarish bowls that read as superelliptical, giving counters a smooth, softened-rectangle feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is dense with relatively narrow letterforms and firm spacing. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey shapes and sturdy stems, while the numerals share the same compact width and robust presence for consistent color in mixed setting.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where a compact, forceful voice is needed—posters, sports and event graphics, retail signage, packaging callouts, and digital banners. It also works well for numeric-heavy applications like scores, prices, and promo tags thanks to its sturdy, consistent figures.
The strong slant and condensed heft create a sense of speed and push-forward momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone contemporary and approachable, while the weight and density project assertiveness and high energy.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a speed-driven slant with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, energetic display look.
The design maintains a consistent, “blocky-rounded” texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps it hold together in bold headline lines. The pronounced oblique angle makes it feel more like a display face than a text workhorse, especially at smaller sizes.
