A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. The letterforms are compact with tight apertures and rounded-rectangle counters, giving bowls and stems a sturdy, aerodynamic feel. Terminals are consistently softened, and the overall rhythm is smooth and continuous, with a slight bounce from the italic slant and curved joins. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded geometry, staying clear and weighty in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits packaging and apparel or sports-related graphics, and can work for short bursts of editorial emphasis where a bold, kinetic texture is desired.
The tone feels energetic and assertive, combining a retro-industrial silhouette with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as fast and purposeful rather than formal, with a sporty, poster-like attitude that stays approachable.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, high-energy display voice that merges geometric consistency with softened, rounded shaping for friendliness. Its slanted stance and dense proportions prioritize impact and momentum while maintaining a clean sans structure.
The design’s tight spacing and compact widths create a strong vertical texture in text, while the rounded-rectangular construction keeps shapes cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The slant is pronounced enough to signal motion without turning into a script-like feel.
