A heavy, condensed oblique sans with squared-off, superelliptic rounds and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt with softly rounded corners, giving the shapes a compact, molded feel. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with short crossbars and compressed interior space that increases ink coverage. The numerals and capitals read as sturdy blocks, while the lowercase keeps a tall, efficient profile with simple, utilitarian joins.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, bold packaging fronts, and attention-grabbing signage. It performs especially well when set large, where the condensed width and heavy strokes deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space.
The tone is forceful and fast, with an athletic, headline-driven energy. Its slanted stance and compact mass suggest motion and impact, leaning toward a pragmatic, no-nonsense attitude rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-efficient emphasis with a sense of speed and immediacy. Its superelliptic rounding softens the mass just enough to feel engineered and contemporary while retaining an assertive, display-first voice.
In the sample text, the tight apertures and high ink density make word shapes bold and unified at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may need extra tracking to prevent dark spots where letters crowd. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps curves controlled and consistent, helping maintain a cohesive look across caps, lowercase, and figures.
