A heavily condensed oblique sans with chunky, rounded-rectangle counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform, producing a solid, ink-trap-free silhouette with compact apertures and tight internal spacing. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, and the overall construction favors tall verticals, short crossbars, and simplified joins for maximum density. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent slant and width economy, while lowercase forms keep a sturdy, upright rhythm despite the oblique angle.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It works particularly well where vertical space is limited and a compact, condensed voice is needed, especially in all-caps or tight title lines.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a forward-leaning, high-impact presence that suggests speed and momentum. Its compressed, muscular shapes evoke sports graphics and industrial labeling, delivering a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as modern with a subtle retro-display edge.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency while keeping a friendly, rounded geometry. By combining strong condensation with a consistent oblique slant, it aims to deliver fast, energetic display typography that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At larger sizes the rounded geometry gives the face a distinctive, cohesive texture; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense interiors may feel darker, especially in letters like a, e, s, and g. The oblique angle is pronounced and consistent, helping headlines feel dynamic and directional.
