A condensed, oblique sans with heavy, compact letterforms and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters. The stroke weight stays largely uniform, with tight apertures and blunt terminals that keep the texture dense and continuous. Curves are squared-off rather than fully round, and joins feel sturdy and engineered, giving the shapes a tall, compressed rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow footprint and firm vertical emphasis, supporting strong alignment in headline settings.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and attention-grabbing packaging. It can also serve as a strong accent face in editorial layouts where short bursts of text need speed and presence.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, forward-leaning stance that reads as sporty and urgent. Its compressed mass and sturdy construction suggest utilitarian strength and a modern, street-level confidence rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while conveying motion and strength. Its rounded-rectangle construction and uniform weight aim for a modern, engineered feel that stays legible and consistent in bold, condensed settings.
The narrow proportions and tight internal spaces create a bold, poster-like color on the page, while the oblique angle adds motion without relying on decorative details. The lowercase appears built for impact, with compact bowls and short, forceful terminals that keep word shapes dense.
