A condensed, heavy oblique sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense, blocky silhouettes with compact internal counters and tight apertures. Terminals are cut cleanly with a forward-leaning stance, giving letters a brisk, aerodynamic rhythm. Numerals and uppercase share a strong, poster-like presence, while lowercase remains similarly compact and sturdy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, and bold brand marks where a compact footprint is useful. It also works well on packaging and apparel-style typography where strong silhouettes and a dynamic slant help type stand out.
The overall tone feels fast, tough, and performance-oriented—more about impact than subtlety. Its forward slant and compressed proportions read as energetic and competitive, with an industrial confidence that suits bold messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, modern feel through rounded-corner geometry. Its consistent oblique stance and sturdy forms suggest an aim toward motion, strength, and display-driven clarity.
The design relies on rounded-rectangle geometry throughout, creating a cohesive set of squared curves across letters and figures. The oblique angle is consistent, and the dense black color makes spacing and counter-shapes a key part of legibility, especially at smaller sizes.
