A condensed, heavily slanted sans with thick, low-contrast strokes and compact proportions. Counters are tight and the overall construction favors rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners rather than circular bowls, creating a squarish, superelliptical feel in letters like O, D, and P. Terminals are blunt and cut cleanly, with simplified joins and sturdy diagonals in forms like A, K, V, and W. The lowercase follows a similarly compact rhythm with short ascenders/descenders and closed, sturdy shapes; figures are equally dense and block-forward, with minimal interior space and strong, uniform color on the line.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and bold promotional graphics. It also works well on packaging and in digital banners where compact width helps fit large type into tight spaces; for extended copy, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain legibility.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as fast and forceful. Its compressed width and dense weight give it a hard-working, no-nonsense character, suited to messaging that needs to feel strong and immediate.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong italic lean with compact, rounded-rectangle geometry. The goal is a modern, high-energy display voice that stays solid and uniform across letters and numerals.
Stroke endings and apertures tend to be tight, which increases visual punch but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, engineered texture in longer lines.
