A condensed oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle curves that give counters a superellipse feel. Forms are tall and tightly set, with compact apertures and short, squared terminals softened by corner rounding. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a forward-leaning rhythm; curves and diagonals are clean and mechanically drawn, while bowls and shoulders stay compact to preserve a dense silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It performs particularly well where a compact footprint is needed without sacrificing presence, and where a forward-leaning, energetic voice supports the message.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a sporty, no-nonsense attitude. Its compressed, forward-leaning shapes suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh or brittle.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed width while maintaining smooth, rounded geometry and a consistent italic drive. It prioritizes a strong, modern texture and quick visual recognition in display sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, engineered construction, and the numerals match the same condensed stance and rounded geometry for consistent texture. The dense letterforms create strong vertical emphasis and a high-impact word shape in headlines, especially at larger sizes where the rounded counters remain clearly legible.
