A condensed sans with a consistent rightward slant and thick, even strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing soft corners and squarish counters (notably in C/G/O). Terminals are smoothly blunted rather than sharp, and joins are clean with minimal modulation. Proportions are tall and compact, with tight internal spacing and a sturdy, blocky rhythm that stays uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and promotional graphics where a compact, forward-leaning texture helps convey motion. It can also work for labels and packaging that need a dense, bold voice, while longer passages may feel heavy and tightly set at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is fast and assertive while staying approachable thanks to the rounded construction. It reads as contemporary and energetic—more athletic and action-oriented than neutral—yet not aggressive because the corners and curves are softened.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a tight horizontal footprint, pairing a dynamic slant with rounded-rectangular forms for a modern, sporty feel. Its consistent stroke weight and softened corners aim for strong presence and legibility in display-driven settings.
Caps are upright in structure but follow the same slanted stance, giving a forward-leaning texture in words. Numerals are similarly compact and heavy, with simple, easily recognizable shapes suited to bold display use.
