A compact, heavy sans with a consistent rightward slant and tightly controlled counters. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: broad vertical stems, squared shoulders softened by radiused corners, and generally closed apertures that keep the texture dense. Curves (C, O, S) feel compressed and superelliptical rather than purely circular, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are thick and sturdy with minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same compact, muscular construction, prioritizing strong silhouettes over delicate interior space.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, sports and event branding, and promotional graphics where a dense, energetic texture is desirable. It can also work for packaging or labels that need bold emphasis and a sense of speed, especially when set with generous leading and ample margins.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and energetic, with an assertive, competitive voice. Its slanted stance and dense blackness convey motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh or technical. The result reads as bold and contemporary with a clear emphasis on impact.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining an oblique stance with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, athletic feel. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, compact rhythm, and immediate legibility in display contexts.
Spacing appears tight and the rhythm is intentionally compact, producing a strong headline color. Many lowercase forms show sturdy, simplified joins and small counters, which reinforces the solid, poster-like presence at larger sizes.
