A compact, slanted sans with heavy, even stroke weight and tightly controlled spacing. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circular forms. Terminals are generally blunt with subtly rounded corners, and the overall rhythm is steady and dense, producing strong vertical emphasis and a sturdy footprint. Numerals and caps read as solid, block-like shapes with consistent width logic and minimal ornamental detail.
Best suited to display settings where impact and quick recognition matter: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a compact, energetic voice is desired, though its density favors larger sizes and limited copy.
The tone is forceful and active, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and urgency. Its compact massing and rounded-rect geometry give it a contemporary, industrial confidence—more performance-driven than elegant.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint, combining a strong italic posture with rounded-rect construction for a modern, performance-oriented look.
The italic slant is pronounced enough to create momentum without turning into a script-like flow, keeping letterforms firmly in the utilitarian sans camp. Rounded corners soften the weight, helping large text feel less harsh while preserving impact.
