A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and smooth, rounded terminals. Strokes maintain an even, sturdy color, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters and soft corners that keep the forms friendly despite the weight. Curves are broad and controlled, diagonals are prominent, and the overall texture is dense and punchy in lines of text. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded construction, reading as sturdy and contemporary.
Works best where impact and speed are desirable: headlines, posters, and branding—especially for athletic, tech, or automotive themes. The dense weight and compact widths also suit packaging callouts and short signage lines where a strong, modern presence is needed.
The font projects speed and momentum through its consistent slant and condensed stance, giving it an energetic, sporty tone. Rounded shaping tempers the intensity, adding approachability while still feeling assertive and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful voice in a compact footprint, using rounded geometry to maintain clarity and friendliness. Its consistent slant and sturdy construction suggest an emphasis on dynamic display use rather than delicate typographic nuance.
The uppercase set shows strong diagonal emphasis (notably in A, N, V, W) and simplified, rounded bowls (B, P, R) that keep the silhouette clean. Lowercase forms are compact and robust, with a straightforward, single-storey feel in several letters and a distinct, utilitarian rhythm suited to short bursts of text.
