A condensed, slanted sans with heavy, compact forms and softly rounded corners. Strokes stay broadly uniform, producing dense silhouettes with little internal whitespace and a strong vertical rhythm. Bowls and counters lean toward squarish, superelliptical shapes rather than true circles, while terminals are clean and blunt. The overall color is dark and even, with tight proportions that emphasize speed and impact over delicacy.
Best suited for short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where strong emphasis and momentum are desirable. It can work in brief subheads or labels when space is tight, but its dense texture favors display sizes over extended reading.
The tone is energetic and assertive, evoking motion and competitive intensity. Its bold, compressed cadence feels contemporary and functional, with a no-nonsense, attention-grabbing presence suited to high-impact messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a forward slant with rounded-rectangle construction for a fast, forceful look. The consistent, sturdy shapes suggest an emphasis on clarity at display sizes while projecting speed and strength.
The italic slant and compact width create a forward-driving texture in text, and the rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the heaviness from feeling brittle. Numerals follow the same dense, sturdy construction, maintaining consistent weight and emphasis alongside capitals and lowercase.
