A condensed, heavy sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with corners softened into rounded, superellipse-like curves that keep the shapes from feeling brittle despite the mass. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be small, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. The uppercase and numerals read as sturdy blocks with subtly tapered joins, while the lowercase stays compact with restrained extenders and clean, simplified construction.
Best used for bold headlines, posters, and branding where compact width and strong impact are needed. It suits sports identities, streetwear and apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and short promotional copy that benefits from a fast, energetic voice.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, leaning toward athletic and promotional energy. Its compact slant and dense color suggest speed, pressure, and momentum, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense attitude. The rounded geometry adds a friendly, retro-industrial warmth that keeps the aggressiveness in check.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a space-efficient footprint, combining condensed proportions with softened, rounded geometry for a sturdy yet approachable display presence. The consistent slant reinforces a sense of motion for attention-grabbing titling and branding.
The rhythm in running text is strongly driven by the narrow set and tight internal spaces, which amplifies weight and presence at larger sizes. The slant is consistent across glyphs and contributes to a forward-leaning cadence that feels suited to display rather than extended reading.
