A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, compact strokes and softly rounded corners that give the forms a superellipse-like smoothness. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, producing dense, high-ink shapes that hold together as solid blocks. Curves and joins are simplified and sturdy, with an overall vertical, tall-looking proportion and a consistent, low-modulation stroke feel. The rhythm is punchy and compressed, emphasizing speed and forward motion rather than spacious readability.
Works best for high-impact display settings such as sports and fitness branding, promotional headlines, poster typography, and bold packaging panels where a compact footprint is useful. It can also suit signage and wayfinding where a condensed, energetic voice is desired, provided sizes are large enough to keep the tight internal spaces clear.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, with a no-nonsense, utilitarian edge. Its slant and compressed stance suggest motion and intensity, making it feel energetic and attention-seeking rather than relaxed or elegant.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed build with a forward slant and rounded geometry for a modern, high-energy voice. The simplified shapes and dense counters prioritize immediacy and brand presence over delicate detail.
Numbers and capitals read as engineered and compact, with rounded-rectangle geometry showing through in bowls and terminals. In longer lines the dense spacing and narrow proportions create a strong texture that favors impact at display sizes over extended text comfort.
