A compact, slanted sans with heavy, uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry throughout. Curves are tight and full, counters are small and often teardrop-like, and joins are smooth and robust, producing a dense, high-impact silhouette. The proportions are condensed with a tall overall stance, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, solid rhythm, and the lowercase shares the same thick, rounded construction with single-storey forms.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding that needs immediate impact—especially in sporty or high-energy contexts. It can work well for short bursts of text such as labels, calls-to-action, and product names where a compact footprint and strong presence are beneficial.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with an athletic, forward-leaning posture that reads as fast and forceful. Its rounded forms keep it friendly and contemporary, while the dense weight and tight spacing project confidence and urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded, superelliptical forms to stay approachable while remaining bold and energetic. The strong slant and compact counters emphasize speed and momentum for attention-grabbing display typography.
The combination of condensed width, small apertures, and heavy fill creates strong word-shapes at display sizes, while finer interior details (like small counters and notches) become more noticeable and characterful in larger settings. The italic angle is substantial and consistent across letters and figures, reinforcing a sense of motion.
