A heavily condensed, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are thick and even, with soft, rounded-rectangle corners that keep counters from feeling sharp despite the heavy weight. Curves (C, G, O, 0) read as squarish superellipses, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) are tightly fit with minimal interior space. The overall texture is dense and dark, with short apertures and sturdy joins that favor impact over nuance.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, packaging callouts, and bold cover titles. It also works well for short labels and signage where condensed width and strong presence help fit copy into narrow spaces while staying attention-grabbing.
The slant and compressed build create a sense of speed and force, giving the face an assertive, competitive tone. Its chunky, rounded geometry feels utilitarian and modern, with a loud, poster-like presence that reads as energetic rather than elegant.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, using a slanted stance and rounded-square forms to suggest motion while maintaining a tough, compact silhouette.
Spacing appears tight and the weight fills small counters, which can make long passages feel intense; it shines most when set large. Numerals match the letterforms in width and heft, and the rounded-square construction stays consistent across both uppercase and lowercase, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
