A sharply condensed oblique sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes read largely monoline, with rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and numerals that keeps curves taut rather than soft. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and the overall rhythm is tight, emphasizing vertical momentum and forward slant. Uppercase forms are narrow and commanding, while the lowercase maintains a high, upright presence with minimal intrusion from descenders.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, campaign lockups, and sports or event branding. It can also work for packaging callouts and logo wordmarks where a compact, energetic footprint is useful, but it’s less appropriate for extended reading or small UI text due to its tight counters and compressed forms.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a vintage display energy that feels at home in sports, action, and promotional settings. The steep slant and compressed width create a sense of urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
This font appears designed to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, combining a pronounced forward slant with rounded, tightly drawn shapes for a dynamic display voice. The condensed build and consistent stroke weight suggest an emphasis on strong, reproducible silhouettes for branding and prominent typographic statements.
The design leans on strong vertical stems and narrow apertures, so internal spaces can close quickly at smaller sizes or in dense settings. Numerals share the same condensed, upright-tall stance, pairing well with bold pricing or scoreboard-like content.
