A heavy, forward-leaning sans with compact proportions and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes are thick and consistent, with rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners that keep the forms smooth rather than sharp. Counters are relatively small and the joins are sturdy, producing dense silhouettes and strong horizontal/vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals read as engineered and compact, with an overall slanted, momentum-driven texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness identities, and punchy packaging or label systems. It can work for subheads and callouts where space is limited, but the dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is fast, assertive, and performance-oriented, with a no-nonsense, contemporary energy. Its dense color and pronounced slant suggest motion and intensity, leaning toward athletic and action-forward branding rather than quiet editorial restraint.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while conveying speed and strength. The rounded-rectangle geometry and uniform stroke treatment aim for a contemporary, engineered look that stays bold and legible in display applications.
The oblique angle is prominent and consistent across cases, and the condensed fit creates a tight, stacked feel in multi-line settings. Rounded, superellipse-like bowls (notably in O/Q/0 and lowercases with curved parts) soften the otherwise blocky construction, helping it stay friendly while remaining forceful at display sizes.
