A compact, heavy oblique sans with blocky, rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with corners softened into squarish curves that give round letters a superelliptical feel. The italic slant is consistent and fairly steep, producing a forward-leaning rhythm; terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts that add snap. Uppercase forms read sturdy and geometric, while lowercase keeps simple, single-storey constructions (notably a and g) with short ascenders/descenders and dense spacing that emphasizes a compressed texture. Numerals match the same chunky, squared-off proportions for strong visual unity.
Well suited to headlines, poster typography, and bold promotional messaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and labeling that benefits from a condensed footprint and a dynamic slanted stance.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a speed-and-impact feel that suggests motion and urgency. Its compressed, slanted stance reads assertive and competitive, leaning toward utilitarian modernity rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning oblique posture with rounded-rectilinear geometry for a modern, high-energy display presence.
Because of the heavy weight and tight internal spaces, small sizes can close up; it performs best when given room through size, tracking, or generous line spacing. The strong slant and condensed silhouette create a distinctive texture that stands out in short bursts more than long-form reading.
