A compact, oblique sans with thick, even strokes and gently rounded corners. The letterforms are horizontally tightened with tall proportions, producing a dense rhythm and strong vertical presence. Curves are smooth and geometric, while joins and terminals stay clean and uncomplicated, keeping the silhouettes crisp at display sizes. Spacing appears moderately tight, reinforcing a condensed, high-impact texture in words and numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent text where a strong, compact presence is needed—headlines, posters, logos, and branding systems that benefit from a dynamic slant. It can also work well on packaging and apparel graphics where space is limited but impact is essential.
The overall tone is fast, driven, and confident, with an athletic, forward-leaning posture. Its compact width and heavy color read as urgent and attention-seeking rather than delicate or formal, giving it a modern, performance-oriented voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis in a reduced width, combining a consistent oblique stance with smooth, geometric forms for a contemporary, high-energy look.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping headlines maintain momentum. Counters remain fairly open for a compressed style, and the rounded shaping keeps the heaviness from feeling harsh or industrial.
