A compact, oblique sans with thick, rounded stroke endings and a clean, largely monoline construction. Letterforms are slightly condensed with tight internal counters, giving the set a strong, space-efficient color. Curves are smooth and geometric, while joins and terminals stay blunt and softly radiused rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is brisk and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and simplified shapes that keep legibility intact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, punchy statements where its compact width and strong color can carry attention. It also works well for branding and packaging that needs a dynamic, modern voice, particularly in sports, active, or tech-adjacent contexts.
The forward slant and dense weight create a sense of motion and urgency, reading as sporty and contemporary. Its rounded finishes soften the tone just enough to feel approachable, while still projecting confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, impactful sans for display use, combining condensed proportions with an oblique stance for momentum. Rounded terminals and simplified geometry suggest an emphasis on bold clarity and consistent texture over ornamental detail.
Numerals are similarly compact and heavy, matching the alphabet’s tight proportions and rounded corners for consistent texture in mixed text. The lowercase maintains simple, utilitarian forms with minimal detailing, reinforcing a straightforward, headline-oriented personality.
