A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced forward slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and strong horizontal texture. Curves and counters tend toward rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, while joins and terminals often feel cut on a diagonal, reinforcing motion. The overall rhythm is energetic and compressed, with sturdy, legible forms that prioritize mass and momentum over delicacy.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports branding, event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for signage or wayfinding where a compact footprint and strong presence are helpful, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading due to its density and aggressive slant.
The tone is fast, forceful, and high-energy—more about speed and impact than neutrality. Its slanted, compressed build reads as assertive and performance-driven, evoking competition, urgency, and headline intensity.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a tight width while maintaining sturdy, modern sans forms. The combination of heavy weight, forward slant, and rounded-rect geometry suggests an emphasis on speed, strength, and attention-grabbing display performance.
Uppercase forms feel especially condensed and rectangular, with rounded corners that keep the weight from looking brittle. Numerals are similarly blocky and sturdy, suited to large-scale use where strong silhouette and quick recognition matter.
