A compact, slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and strongly rounded corners that give counters and curves a superelliptical feel. The overall drawing is condensed with tight internal spaces, producing a dense vertical rhythm and an energetic forward lean. Terminals are mostly blunt and smoothly finished, with minimal modulation and clear, utilitarian shapes. Numerals follow the same compact, italicized construction, with rounded joins and sturdy, uniform weight.
Works best in headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, forward-leaning voice is useful—especially for sports, performance products, and energetic campaigns. It can also serve on packaging and signage that need a strong, space-efficient wordmark-like presence.
The face reads fast, forceful, and kinetic, with a sporty, no-nonsense tone. Its rounded geometry softens the aggression of the weight while keeping the overall impression mechanical and performance-driven. The italic slant adds urgency, making it feel suited to motion, speed, and bold messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed build with a consistent rounded geometry. The italic stance and sturdy stroke weight suggest an emphasis on motion and immediacy while retaining clean, sans simplicity.
Across the set, the curvature is consistently squarish-rounded rather than purely circular, creating a distinctive ‘rounded-rectangle’ personality. The spacing and proportions favor short wordmarks and tight headlines where density and impact are desired, while smaller sizes may need extra tracking to maintain clarity.
