A condensed, forward-leaning sans with compact, superelliptical curves and squared-off counters that read as rounded-rectangle forms. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with subtle modulation and crisp, clean joins. The design keeps apertures tight and verticals dominant, while diagonals and terminals are cut on a consistent slant that reinforces the oblique rhythm. Overall proportions favor tall, narrow silhouettes and dense texture, producing strong word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact and speed are priorities—headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for subheads and labels when generous line spacing is used to keep the dense forms from feeling crowded.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, action-oriented momentum created by the slant and compressed width. Its dense black presence feels confident and utilitarian, lending a contemporary, high-impact voice suited to fast-paced messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while conveying motion and urgency. Its rounded-rect geometry and consistent slanted terminals aim for a modern, engineered look that stays legible in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
Round letters lean toward squarish ovals, and many forms show a streamlined, engineered consistency that keeps the set cohesive. Numerals and capitals carry the same condensed stance, helping mixed text maintain a uniform, punchy cadence.
