A heavy, condensed oblique sans with compact counters and broad, uniform strokes. Curves are built from softened, squarish bowls that read like rounded rectangles, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. The slant is strong and consistent, giving letters a forward lean; joins and shoulders stay tight, producing a dense texture in words. Uppercase forms are tall and commanding, and the lowercase follows the same compressed, blocky logic with simplified bowls and minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports or fitness branding where the slanted stance can imply motion. It also works well for bold labels, product packaging callouts, and attention-demanding interface banners when used at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, projecting momentum and intensity. Its compressed stance and strong slant feel sporty and competitive, with an attention-grabbing, poster-like presence that suggests speed and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while retaining smooth, modern rounding. The pronounced slant and compact proportions are geared toward conveying speed and urgency in display typography.
Numbers and capitals maintain a sturdy, signage-like solidity, with rounded interior corners that keep the weight from feeling brittle. The tight apertures and compact counters increase punch at large sizes but can make extended text feel dense, especially in all-caps.
