A tightly condensed, heavy oblique sans with tall proportions and compact internal spaces. Strokes are broadly uniform with softened corners and rounded-rectangle counters, giving the forms a sturdy, engineered feel rather than a calligraphic one. Curves stay controlled and slightly squarish (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals), while diagonals in N, V, W, X, and Z are sharp and assertive. Spacing is economical and the overall rhythm reads as dense and vertical, with a clear, straightforward construction across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display typography where density and impact are desirable: headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, bold branding, and packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation where space is constrained, provided sizes are large enough to keep counters open.
The font projects speed and intensity, combining a compressed stance with a forward-leaning posture that feels athletic and action-oriented. Its robust shapes and compact apertures add a no-nonsense, utilitarian tone suited to bold messaging. Overall it reads contemporary, energetic, and built for impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed build with an oblique stance for motion and urgency. Rounded-rectangle construction and low-modulation strokes suggest a pragmatic, contemporary approach aimed at strong signage-like clarity rather than delicate detail.
Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and simple, readable joins; the t has a short crossbar and the f is tall and prominent. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with a narrow, linear 1 and compact bowls on 6/8/9 that stay legible at display sizes. The heavy weight and narrow width make counters and joins more prone to filling in at small sizes, especially in dense text settings.
