A heavy, condensed oblique sans with broad, compact counters and a sturdy, block-like construction. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and numerals a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are smooth, and the stroke weight stays visually even throughout, producing a strong, uniform color on the line. Proportions are tight and vertical, with narrow letterforms, short apertures in some shapes, and a generally tall, compressed stance that keeps words dense and forceful.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, campaign graphics, sports and fitness identities, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark work where a compact, forceful footprint is helpful. It can also work for display captions and UI banners when used sparingly with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with an athletic, poster-forward energy. Its slanted stance and compact massing read as urgent and contemporary, leaning toward action-oriented branding rather than quiet editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rect geometry for a modern, energetic voice. It prioritizes bold recognition and dense typographic color over open, text-centric readability.
The font’s rounded-rect geometry is especially apparent in bowls and numerals, creating a distinctive “inflated block” silhouette. At larger sizes it feels punchy and clean; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense shapes may benefit from generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
