A condensed, slanted sans with heavy, compact letterforms and softly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and confident with subtle modulation, giving counters a slightly pinched, engineered feel rather than perfectly geometric bowls. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is tight, producing strong vertical drive and efficient word shapes. Figures match the lettering with sturdy, compressed forms and consistent weight distribution.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where compact width and strong presence are valuable—headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for sports and performance-themed graphics, wayfinding-style titling, and any layout that needs a dense, energetic typographic voice without ornamental features.
The tone is fast, forceful, and energetic, reading as performance-oriented and no-nonsense. Its forward slant and dense proportions evoke motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep the impact from feeling harsh. Overall it suggests contemporary utility with a sporty edge.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean sans structure. The consistent slant and rounded-squared finishing suggest an intention to communicate speed and modernity, producing sturdy, repeatable shapes that hold up in large sizes and bold applications.
Uppercase forms feel particularly compact and punchy, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and simplified construction. The slant is consistent across letters and numerals, supporting a cohesive texture in longer lines. The design favors strong silhouettes and headline legibility over delicate detail.
