A tightly packed, condensed sans with a strong rightward slant and heavy, uniform strokes. Letterforms are built from compact, superellipse-like curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off counters in round letters and blunt, angled terminals. Curves are restrained and corners feel softened rather than sharp, while diagonals and joins create a forward-leaning rhythm. Spacing is economical and the overall silhouette is tall and compressed, emphasizing verticality and speed.
Best suited to bold display roles where speed and impact matter: sports identities, event and concert posters, athletic apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and assertive web or UI headings. It performs well in short phrases, titles, and large-scale typographic treatments where its condensed width and slant can amplify energy without needing extra space.
The tone is high-impact and kinetic, with a distinctly sporty, action-oriented feel. Its compressed stance and aggressive slant evoke racing, headlines, and performance branding, while the rounded-square construction adds a contemporary, engineered coolness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward slant with rounded-rectilinear construction for a modern, aerodynamic look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, quick recognition, and a unified, high-contrast presence at display sizes.
Capitals and numerals read as compact blocks with consistent stroke thickness, and round characters (like O/0) take on a squarish, rounded shape. The italic angle is prominent enough to drive a sense of motion, and the dense color on the page favors short bursts of text over long passages.
