A tall, tightly set sans with a pronounced rightward slant and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with smooth corners and softened terminals that keep counters open despite the condensed proportions. The rhythm is vertical and efficient, with narrow letterforms, compact bowls, and simplified joins that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded geometry, giving the set a unified, modernized industrial feel.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its condensed width and strong slant can create emphasis without taking much horizontal space. It works well for sports and performance branding, event posters, bold packaging callouts, and signage/wayfinding that benefits from a compact, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, combining a sporty urgency with a slightly retro, poster-like punch. Its condensed stance and italic motion suggest speed and momentum, while the rounded shaping adds approachability and polish rather than aggression.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a streamlined, space-saving footprint and a clear sense of motion. Its rounded-rectangular construction and consistent stroke weight prioritize legibility and cohesion while projecting speed and modern utility.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean toward squarish curves with broad, rounded corners, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sharply angled but softened at the ends. The uppercase set feels especially tall and commanding, while the lowercase maintains clarity with simple, sturdy forms and minimal ornamentation.
