A condensed, right-slanted sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and tightly packed proportions. Letterforms lean on rounded-rectangle construction: bowls and counters are compact and somewhat squarish, with softened corners that keep the texture smooth despite the heavy stroke. Curves transition quickly into straights, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm; apertures tend to be narrow, and many characters read as tall, streamlined silhouettes. Terminals are mostly blunt and straightforward, with minimal decorative modulation, producing an even, high-density typographic color in text.
Best suited to display settings where a compact footprint and high impact are needed—headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, and bold editorial callouts. Its narrow build also works well for space-constrained packaging and signage where a condensed, energetic voice is desirable.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a track-side or headline urgency that reads as contemporary and utilitarian. The narrow, forward slant adds momentum, while the rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, landing in a confident, performance-oriented register.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, engineered feel. The consistent stroke weight and simplified terminals emphasize clarity and punch over nuance, aiming for strong recognition in branding and display typography.
At larger sizes the distinctive superelliptical roundness becomes a key identifier, especially in O/Q and other rounded forms, while the compact apertures and condensed spacing create a strong vertical emphasis. The numerals and uppercase are particularly tall and forceful, reinforcing a display-forward personality.
