A heavy, condensed oblique sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are largely monoline, with broad verticals and compact counters that keep forms dense and punchy. Terminals are mostly straight-cut and blunt, while bowls and shoulders resolve into softened rectangular curves, creating a structured, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals share a tight, upright architecture even as the overall slant adds forward motion, and the spacing reads compact for headline use.
Best suited for large-scale typography where impact and quick recognition matter, such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, event graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a condensed, high-energy voice is desired, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for long passages.
The font projects speed and impact, combining a streamlined athletic tone with a sturdy, utilitarian confidence. Its oblique stance and compressed proportions create a sense of urgency and momentum, while the rounded rectangular shaping keeps the voice contemporary rather than aggressive or sharp.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force in minimal horizontal space, pairing a forward-leaning stance with softened rectangular geometry for a modern, performance-driven look. Its consistent stroke weight and compact apertures prioritize strong silhouettes and punchy texture for display typography.
Distinctive superellipse rounding shows up in the O/0 family and in the squarish bowls of letters like B, P, and R, giving a cohesive “softened block” silhouette across the set. The lowercase maintains a strong, compact rhythm that favors bold word shapes over delicate detail, and the numerals appear designed for prominence rather than quiet text setting.
