A condensed, right-slanted sans with a heavy, compact build and tightly controlled counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than pure circles. Stroke endings are clean and mostly blunt, with rounded corner transitions that keep the forms smooth and continuous. Overall spacing is efficient and uniform, producing a dense texture and a strong forward rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, sports and athletic identity systems, and bold packaging callouts. The dense, slanted texture also works well for signage or interface labels where an energetic, technical voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads fast and forceful, with a contemporary, performance-driven tone. Its slant and compact proportions create an impression of speed and urgency, while the rounded-square construction keeps it feeling engineered and modern rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, assertive sans voice with a distinctive rounded-rectangular skeleton. It prioritizes compact economy and forward motion, offering a contemporary display look that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Uppercase shapes are tall and streamlined, while lowercase maintains compact apertures and sturdy joins, preserving legibility at display sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-curve logic, matching the letters in weight and stance for consistent headline setting.
