A compact, oblique sans with heavily compressed proportions and a uniform, low-contrast stroke. Curves are squared-off into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a taut, engineered feel. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is vertical and punchy, with tight apertures and compact counters that prioritize impact over airiness. Figures and capitals share the same dense, forward-leaning stance, producing an emphatic, poster-ready texture in lines of text.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and promotional graphics where speed and intensity are desirable. It can also work for packaging and bold signage when set with enough size and spacing to keep counters from closing up.
The font conveys speed and pressure—an energetic, no-nonsense voice that feels at home in competitive or action-oriented settings. Its strong slant and compressed build read as urgent and directive, with a contemporary, industrial edge rather than a friendly or conversational tone.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual force in minimal horizontal space, combining a steady oblique slant with squared, superelliptical curves for a technical, athletic impression. The consistent stroke and compressed construction suggest a focus on bold display typography that stays legible and cohesive in fast, attention-grabbing layouts.
The compression and dark color create strong headline presence, but the tight internal space in several letters suggests it will look best with generous tracking and at larger sizes. The oblique angle and squared curves create a distinctive silhouette that remains consistent from display caps through lowercase and numerals.
