A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark word shapes. Curves (C, O, S, 0) read as squarish superellipses, while joins are softened rather than sharp, giving counters a rounded-corner feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertically emphatic, with small apertures and sturdy internal spaces that keep forms stable at display sizes.
This style performs best in headlines, posters, and branding where strong typographic color and fast readability are priorities. It suits sports and fitness identities, bold packaging, event promotion, and punchy signage or wayfinding, especially where space is limited and a condensed, high-impact voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a strong “in motion” feel from the consistent slant and compressed width. It projects a sporty, workmanlike energy—confident, loud, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining condensed proportions with softened, superelliptical curves for a modern, engineered look. The consistent slant and sturdy construction suggest an emphasis on speed, strength, and attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms are bold and compact with simplified geometry; lowercase maintains the same blocky logic with single-storey shapes where applicable and sturdy, upright stems that lean as a unit. Numerals match the alphabet’s squarish rounding and heavy color, making them suitable for short, high-contrast callouts.
