A compact, slanted sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. The letterforms feel tightly fit with short ascenders/descenders and fairly closed apertures, giving the face a dense, efficient texture. Curves are squared-off into superellipse-like rounds, while terminals are clean and blunt, producing a strong, engineered rhythm. Numerals and caps share the same compressed proportions, and the overall spacing reads as intentionally tight for impactful setting.
Best suited to short, high-impact text: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and punchy callouts. It can also work for signage and wayfinding where a condensed footprint is useful, though the dense texture suggests avoiding long paragraphs at small sizes.
The overall tone is fast and forceful—more “go” than “calm.” Its condensed, forward-leaning stance and chunky shapes suggest speed, performance, and a utilitarian confidence that reads well in bold, attention-driven contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong slant with sturdy, rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes momentum, compactness, and a contemporary industrial feel for display typography.
Round letters (like O/C/G) maintain a boxy, superelliptical silhouette, which keeps counters compact and consistent. The italic angle is pronounced enough to add motion without turning into a script-like gesture, and the boldness holds up well in all-caps settings.
