A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and tightly controlled spacing. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with generous corner radii, producing smooth, superelliptical curves in bowls and counters. Strokes stay largely uniform with blunt terminals and a firm baseline, while diagonal cuts and angled joins add speed and forward motion. The lowercase is sturdy and workmanlike, with single‑storey forms and dense counters that keep the texture dark and even across words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for emphatic subheads or UI labels where a strong, condensed voice is needed, while longer passages may feel visually dense at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a condensed, forward-leaning stance that reads as athletic and high-impact. Its rounded construction softens the aggression slightly, giving it a contemporary, engineered feel rather than a rough or distressed one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a speed-oriented slant with rounded, superelliptical construction for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and consistent typographic color for branding-forward display use.
Wide letters like W and M remain compact and vertically oriented, reinforcing a compressed rhythm. Numerals are similarly stout and upright in structure, matching the alphabet’s blocky, rounded-rect aesthetic and maintaining consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
