A compact, oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle curves throughout. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with narrow apertures and a forward-leaning stance, producing a dense texture in words. Curves (C, O, G, e, o) read as smooth superellipse shapes rather than geometric circles, while terminals are clean and mostly blunt with subtly softened corners. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm emphasizes verticality and speed over open, airy spacing.
Best suited to large sizes where its condensed, high-weight forms can deliver maximum impact—such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and promotional graphics. It can work for short UI labels or callouts when space is tight, but the dense counters and narrow apertures favor display use over extended text.
The font projects a fast, high-impact tone—confident, sporty, and slightly aggressive. Its slanted posture and compact forms suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep the voice contemporary rather than harsh.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-efficient, energetic display sans that reads quickly and feels in motion. Rounded-rectangle geometry and uniform stroke weight prioritize bold presence and consistency across letters and numbers for branding-heavy applications.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent oblique angle and sturdy, uniform construction, helping headlines feel cohesive. Numerals match the same compact, rounded-rectangle logic, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a unified, display-forward presence.
