A heavy, condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and tightly controlled counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and terminals a squarish softness rather than true circles. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal contrast and sturdy joins; apertures stay relatively narrow, reinforcing a dense, vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same compact, forward-leaning structure for a consistent, punchy texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, sports and fitness branding, and punchy packaging where dense, forceful letterforms are an advantage. It can work for short subheads and UI header moments when a compact, high-contrast-in-mass look is desired, but it’s less ideal for long-form text at small sizes due to its tight counters and strong weight.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a contemporary, high-impact voice. Its forward slant and blocky rounded forms suggest motion and strength, leaning toward sporty and industrial cues rather than refined or delicate ones.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with softened, superellipse-like rounding to keep the tone modern and approachable while still feeling muscular and fast.
Spacing appears tight and the black mass is prominent, so the font reads best when given room—either at larger sizes or with a bit of added tracking. The oblique angle is consistent across cases, helping maintain an even flow in headlines and short bursts of copy.
