A heavy, condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact horizontal proportions. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with rounded-rectangle counters and softened corners that keep the shapes from feeling brittle. Terminals are mostly straight and sheared, reinforcing a fast, streamlined rhythm; curves in C/G/S and the bowls of B/P/R stay tightly drawn with small apertures. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact with a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a broad, weighty s; numerals are equally blocky, with a simple, straight-stem 1 and rounded, compressed 0/8 forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for bold UI labels or navigation where a condensed, energetic voice is needed, but its tight counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long passages.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining the push of an italic with the mass of a headline weight. It reads as utilitarian and performance-driven—more “go” than “grace”—with a contemporary, engineered feel suited to high-energy messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch in minimal width, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded, superelliptical interiors for a modern, manufactured look. It prioritizes speed, density, and clear silhouette recognition in display typography.
The condensed set width and tight internal spaces give it strong presence at display sizes, while the slant and sheared joins add motion. Wide letters like M/W are drawn with strongly angled inner strokes to preserve the compact texture, and punctuation follows the same robust, no-nonsense construction.
