A tightly condensed, slanted sans with heavy, compact forms and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes stay largely even, with corners softened into superelliptical curves and counters kept small and efficient. The letterforms are tall and stacked, with short crossbars and minimal interior space, producing a dense texture in words. Numerals follow the same compressed, sturdy rhythm, reading like cut, solid blocks with gentle rounding rather than sharp corners.
Best used where strong emphasis is needed: posters, headlines, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It performs particularly well in short phrases, labels, and stacked layouts where its condensed width helps fit more text without losing presence.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian, with a distinctly sporty pull. Its compressed, forward-leaning stance adds urgency and motion, while the rounded geometry keeps the impact friendly rather than harsh. The result feels suited to bold, no-nonsense messaging with a slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward slant with rounded, superelliptical shapes to create speed and solidity. It prioritizes bold, attention-grabbing display use and a consistent, industrial rhythm across letters and numbers.
Because the forms are very compact, spacing and counters can close up in longer lines, especially at smaller sizes. It visually rewards generous tracking and ample line spacing, where its tall, rhythmic silhouettes remain clear and consistent.
