A compact, heavy sans with a consistent rightward slant and tightly controlled spacing. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing soft corners and smooth curves that stay sturdy at weight. Strokes remain largely uniform, with thick terminals and minimal modulation, creating dense counters and a strong silhouette. The overall rhythm is compressed and punchy, with simplified interior shapes and a few sharp joins that emphasize speed and directionality.
Best suited to short, bold settings where immediacy matters—headlines, posters, sports and fitness graphics, and promotional typography. It also works well on packaging or labels that need compact, high-contrast presence at larger sizes.
The font projects energy and momentum, reading as fast, assertive, and purpose-built. Its dense, slanted forms feel competitive and attention-grabbing, with a contemporary, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, rounded construction. Its slant and dense forms prioritize motion, urgency, and readability for display-driven messaging.
Round characters (like O and 0) lean toward superelliptical ovals, while diagonals and joins stay crisp for a mechanical feel. The numerals share the same compact, high-impact structure, making mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive and forceful.
