A compact, slanted sans with heavy, rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled counters. Curves are broadly superelliptical, with softened corners and minimal stroke modulation, creating a dense, uniform color. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, and the proportions are condensed with short extenders and sturdy joins. Terminals are blunt and clean, keeping letterforms crisp at display sizes while maintaining a smooth, rounded rhythm in bowls and arches.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, promo graphics, sports and activewear branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for signage or labels where quick recognition and a strong silhouette are needed. For extended reading, it’s more effective in larger sizes or with generous leading to counterbalance the dense texture.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, reading as sporty and attention-seeking rather than calm or editorial. Its compressed stance and strong slant add speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps the feel contemporary and approachable. It suggests a modern, performance-driven voice suited to bold statements.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint: a condensed, italicized display sans that stays clean and legible while projecting speed and power. The rounded superellipse forms aim to modernize the aggression of a heavy italic, making it feel contemporary and brand-friendly.
Round characters like O/C/G and numerals show a squared-off oval feel, helping the face look compact and efficient. The uppercase is especially blocky and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure that favors impact over delicacy. In long lines the heavy weight and tight shapes produce a strong typographic “stripe,” so spacing and line length will noticeably affect readability.
