A heavy, compact sans with a pronounced rightward slant and tightly controlled letterfit. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: counters are squarish-rounded, curves feel inflated yet trimmed, and terminals are clean and blunt. Stroke weight is consistent with minimal modulation, producing dense silhouettes and strong vertical presence. The uppercase is tall and condensed with simplified, utilitarian shapes, while the lowercase stays sturdy and compact, keeping bowls and apertures relatively tight for a cohesive, high-impact texture. Numerals match the same condensed, sturdy construction for uniform color in mixed settings.
Best suited to display work where impact is the priority: posters, big headlines, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing UI headers. It can also work for short emphatic lines in editorial layouts when spacing is adjusted for clarity.
The overall tone is fast, emphatic, and athletic—like headline typography meant to project momentum and strength. Its slant and compressed proportions create a sense of urgency and forward drive, while the rounded geometry keeps it contemporary rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, energetic voice. It favors bold messaging and quick recognition over open, airy readability.
At text sizes the compact apertures and heavy joins create a dark, continuous rhythm; it reads best when allowed breathing room through generous tracking and leading. The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a unified typographic voice in display settings.
