A compact, heavily weighted sans with a pronounced rightward slant and tight internal apertures. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing blunt terminals, smooth corners, and sturdy counters that read as superelliptic rather than purely circular. Strokes stay largely uniform, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning. The lowercase is large relative to capitals, and punctuation and numerals adopt the same thick, compressed, slightly rounded construction for consistent color in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and sports or event branding where speed and emphasis are desired. It can work well on packaging, labels, and bold UI or signage moments when used with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, “in-motion” feel driven by the steep slant and condensed proportions. Its weight and compact spacing project confidence and immediacy, leaning toward a sporty, promotional voice rather than a quiet editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining dense proportions with rounded-rectangular construction to keep forms sturdy and consistent. The strong slant suggests an emphasis on motion and urgency, optimized for display settings where bold, directional energy is a primary goal.
Round forms like O/C/G are tightly enclosed and squarish, while diagonals in A/V/W/X and the angled top of 1/7 reinforce a streamlined, engineered look. The bold mass and small openings can make long passages feel heavy at smaller sizes, but the shapes remain cohesive and distinctive.
