A tightly condensed, heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps counters small and sturdy. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and the overall construction emphasizes straight, vertical stress with softened corners rather than calligraphic shaping. Spacing is economical, producing a dense rhythm suited to short, high-impact lines.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, and condensed branding where space is limited but impact is required. It can also work for labels and packaging that benefit from a compact, high-contrast-from-distance typographic block, especially in short phrases rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is forceful and fast, with a distinctly driven, athletic energy. Its compressed width and aggressive slant read as urgent and directive, giving headlines a no-nonsense, high-intensity character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong oblique angle with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, engineered look. The consistent, sturdy strokes and compact fit suggest a focus on bold messaging and high visibility in graphic applications.
Rounded corners and superelliptical bowls keep the forms from feeling sharp despite the weight, while the narrow apertures and tight counters add a compact, poster-like density. Numerals match the same condensed, forward-leaning build, maintaining consistent texture across mixed copy.
