A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, even stroke weight and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded, squared-off shapes, giving bowls and counters a superellipse feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, with minimal modulation and tight apertures that keep the texture dense. The italic angle and tall lowercase proportions create a fast vertical rhythm, while numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, compact footprint for consistent color in display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, and bold brand lockups. It can also work well on packaging and UI banners where a compact, energetic voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a strong sense of speed from the pronounced slant and compressed width. Its chunky, rounded-rect geometry reads contemporary and utilitarian—more athletic and industrial than elegant—making it feel punchy and direct.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a modern, rounded-rect silhouette. The strong slant and dense texture suggest an emphasis on motion and urgency, aimed at attention-grabbing display typography.
The design leans on broad shoulders and tight interior spaces, which reinforces impact but can make small sizes feel crowded in longer lines. Diagonals and joins are crisp, and the rounded corners soften the mass just enough to keep it approachable rather than harsh.
