This typeface is a compact, heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle shaping and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are broadly uniform, with softened corners and blunt terminals that keep letterforms feeling solid and block-like. The condensed proportions and close interior spaces create a dense rhythm, while rounded bowls and a squared-off overall geometry maintain clarity at larger sizes. Numerals share the same sturdy, compact build, with simple forms and minimal interior detailing.
It performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and bold branding where its condensed, slanted forms can create momentum and presence. It also suits sports-related identity work, product packaging, and punchy logo wordmarks, especially when set large with enough spacing to prevent counters from clogging.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and assertive, with an athletic, industrial energy. Its compressed stance and strong massing convey urgency and impact, leaning toward a contemporary sports or action-oriented voice rather than a quiet, editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a strong italic slant with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, athletic look. The emphasis is on visual power, speed, and a cohesive, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a forward-driving texture in lines of text. Round letters read as superellipse-like—more squared than circular—which reinforces the engineered, utilitarian feel and keeps widths tightly controlled.
