A condensed, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and sturdy, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangular (superellipse-like) forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with crisp joins and a steady rhythm that stays consistent from caps to lowercase. Numerals follow the same compact, upright structure within the slant, reading clearly with minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and bold promotional messaging where condensed width helps fit more characters without losing presence. It can work for signage and packaging where a compact, emphatic sans is needed, though longer body copy will appear dense due to the tight proportions and strong slant.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sense of speed created by the strong slant and tight width. Its compact, sturdy construction feels functional and contemporary, leaning toward a no-nonsense, performance-driven attitude rather than a delicate or literary one.
Likely designed to deliver a fast, forceful voice in limited horizontal space, pairing a strong italic stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, engineered feel. The goal appears to be maximum impact and clarity at display sizes while maintaining a clean, consistent skeleton across letters and numerals.
The narrow set width and dense texture produce a strong vertical color in paragraphs, while the squared-round curves keep the forms from feeling generic. The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as intentionally dynamic, not merely oblique, which amplifies emphasis in display settings.
