A compact, slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Counters are tight and openings are relatively small, producing dense letterforms with a strong, continuous rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, curves are smoothly inflated rather than geometric-circular, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) feel sharp but stabilized by rounded corners. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with short extenders and a simple single-storey a; numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic for consistent color in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, bold branding, and packaging where dense typographic color is an advantage. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but longer passages may benefit from generous tracking and line spacing to offset the compact counters.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a fast, forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its compact black footprint and rounded corners blend toughness with approachability, giving it a modern, sporty voice that reads as assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a contemporary, rounded-rect geometry. Its strong slant and dense forms prioritize speed and emphasis, aiming for confident display typography that stays clean and consistent across letters and numerals.
In the sample text, the tight spacing and small apertures create a strong, unified texture that favors impact over airiness. The slant and condensed proportions amplify emphasis in lines of text, while the rounded-rectangle curves keep the heavy weight from feeling overly rigid.
