A compact, tall sans with strongly condensed proportions and an oblique slant throughout. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle construction that produces softened corners and superellipse-like bowls. Apertures are relatively tight and counters are narrow, creating a dense texture, while terminals tend to be blunt and clean rather than flared. The overall rhythm is upright and streamlined, with slightly varied widths across glyphs that keeps the set from feeling mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, and bold packaging callouts where space is limited. The condensed build and heavy color also lend themselves to signage and labels that need a strong presence, though the dense counters suggest using it at larger sizes for optimal clarity.
The typeface reads as fast and performance-oriented, with a forward-leaning, athletic attitude. Its dense, high-impact silhouette and rounded industrial geometry give it a contemporary, utilitarian tone that still feels approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, pairing a streamlined oblique stance with rounded-rectangle letterforms for a modern, energetic display voice. It prioritizes compactness and visual momentum while keeping details simple and consistent for strong repeatability across letters and numbers.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent narrow stance, while lowercase shows similarly compact bowls and short extenders, keeping lines of text tightly packed. Numerals match the same tall, compressed profile, making them visually cohesive in headlines and tabular-like callouts.
