A heavy, condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact proportions. Letterforms are built from squared-off, superelliptical rounds—counters and curves feel like rounded rectangles rather than circles—paired with flat, sheared terminals that emphasize motion. Strokes maintain an even, robust width with minimal modulation, creating dense color and strong silhouette clarity. Spacing is tight and efficient, and the numerals match the same compact, athletic rhythm.
Best suited for bold headlines and short text where impact matters—posters, sports or fitness branding, product packaging, and promotional graphics. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from condensed width and strong, fast-looking forms.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, projecting speed and impact. Its compressed width and slanted stance read as assertive and high-energy, with an industrial, no-nonsense attitude suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space, combining condensed geometry with a dynamic slant for a sense of speed. Its superelliptical construction and sturdy stroke weight suggest a focus on clear, powerful silhouettes for branding and display use.
Uppercase forms are especially chunky and geometric, while the lowercase keeps simplified, sturdy shapes that maintain legibility at display sizes. The angled cuts and rounded-rectangle curvature create a distinctive blend of hard edges and softened corners, helping the font feel both tough and controlled.
