A compact, condensed sans with a pronounced oblique slant and heavy, even stroke weight. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, curves feel squarish and controlled, and counters stay relatively tight. Uppercase shapes are tall and blocky with firm terminals, while lowercase maintains a sturdy rhythm with simple, single-storey construction where applicable. Numerals are equally hefty and vertically oriented, matching the strong, forward-leaning texture of the letters.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging callouts, and wayfinding/signage where density and emphasis are assets. It can also work for subheads and display lines that need a compact footprint and strong presence, especially when paired with a calmer companion for longer reading.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its dense, dark color reads as confident and attention-seeking, leaning toward sporty and industrial signage vibes rather than quiet editorial refinement. The rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, adding a slightly retro, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while preserving a clean, geometric voice. Its rounded-rectangle construction and consistent slant suggest a focus on fast, modern messaging with an engineered, athletic edge, optimized for bold display typography.
The condensed proportions and tight counters create strong word shapes and a continuous, high-impact text color. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, reinforcing a unified sense of motion. Rounded corners and squared curves give the face a distinctive “machined” smoothness compared to purely circular geometrics.
