A compact, slanted sans with heavy, block-like strokes and tightly controlled counters. The letterforms are built from mostly straight segments with subtly chamfered corners and occasional wedge-like terminals, giving the shapes a cut, mechanical feel rather than a geometric one. Proportions are condensed with a tall lowercase presence, and the rhythm is energetic due to the consistent forward lean and slightly irregular, hand-cut impression across curves and diagonals. Numerals match the bold, upright-stemmed construction and read clearly in short strings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong impact and a sense of motion are desired. It can work well for sports identities, event promos, packaging callouts, and sticker-style graphics, especially when set in short phrases. For longer reading, it is more effective in large sizes or with generous tracking and leading to relieve the dense texture.
The overall tone is punchy and forceful, with a sporty, poster-ready attitude. Its slant and compact build create urgency and motion, while the squared-off construction adds an industrial toughness. The slight rough-and-ready geometry keeps it from feeling sterile, leaning instead toward a lively, street-and-signage sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, combining an italic push with squared, industrial construction for energetic display typography. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition over smooth, bookish refinement.
Curves are minimized and simplified into broad, flattened bowls and counters, which increases impact at larger sizes. The italic-like slant is strong enough to shape the texture of whole lines, producing a dense, dark typographic color in paragraphs and headlines alike.
