A heavy, forward-leaning sans with compact proportions and a pronounced slant. Letterforms are built from sturdy, simplified shapes with rounded-rectangle curves and tightly controlled counters, giving the alphabet a dense, high-impact texture. Strokes stay broadly even with subtle modulation, and terminals are mostly squared or gently rounded rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is compressed and vertical, with energetic diagonals in forms like K, M, N, V, W, and X, and broad, stable figures in the numerals.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale promotional copy, and branding where a compact, high-energy voice is needed. It works well on posters, sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and short UI/wayfinding labels where strong contrast against the background and quick recognition are priorities.
The tone is fast, assertive, and performance-driven—more about impact and motion than neutrality. Its condensed, italic stance suggests speed and intensity, evoking athletic branding, motorsport cues, and bold promotional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space while conveying motion through an italic stance. Its rounded-rect geometry and simplified construction aim for a modern, engineered look that stays legible and cohesive at bold display sizes.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as squarish ovals with softened corners, reinforcing a superelliptical feel. Spacing appears intentionally tight for a compact footprint, and the dark color creates strong word shapes at display sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and slanted, matching the caps in weight and presence.
