A tall, tightly packed sans with a strong rightward slant and compact, athletic proportions. Strokes stay largely uniform with crisp terminals, while counters and curves are rounded into squared-off, superellipse-like shapes that keep forms firm and controlled. The narrow width and steep italic angle create a fast rhythm, with uppercase forms reading rigid and vertical while lowercase shapes remain compact and utilitarian.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports branding, event posters, and promotional headlines where a compressed, kinetic texture is desirable. It can also work for packaging callouts and wayfinding-style labels when space is limited and a strong directional emphasis helps guide the eye.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, suggesting speed, motion, and efficiency rather than softness or luxury. Its compressed stance and sharp, forward-leaning energy give it a sporty, performance-driven voice that also suits pragmatic, industrial messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while projecting motion and urgency. Its rounded-rectangle construction and uniform stroke behavior aim for clean reproduction and a consistent, engineered texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The design’s tight apertures and compact counters emphasize density and impact, especially in longer lines. Numerals match the same condensed, slanted construction, keeping a consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
