A condensed, oblique sans with heavy strokes and tightly controlled spacing. Forms lean forward with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction: corners are softened, bowls are squarish, and curves transition quickly into straight-ish sides. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with flat, sturdy terminals and occasional angled cuts that reinforce the slanted rhythm. Counters are compact but open enough for clarity, giving the type a dense, energetic texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and sports or fitness branding where a compact, energetic voice is needed. It can also work for labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style graphics when space is tight and the message benefits from a bold, forward-leaning rhythm.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a performance-oriented feel. Its compressed width and forward slant read as active and competitive, while the squared-round geometry adds a utilitarian, engineered edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectilinear forms for a modern, functional look. The oblique stance and sturdy terminals aim to keep words feeling fast, strong, and readable at display sizes.
Uppercase shapes are especially blocky and compact, with rounded interior corners that prevent the weight from feeling brittle. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-round logic, creating a consistent, uniform color across mixed alphanumerics.
