A tightly condensed, forward-leaning sans with compact proportions and an overall geometric construction. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing a solid, poster-ready color. Curves are rounded and squarish in feel, giving counters a soft-rectangular (superellipse-like) geometry, while terminals are clean and unadorned. The forms are tall and narrow with a brisk rightward slant, and the numerals follow the same compact, energetic rhythm for cohesive text and display settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and promotional typography where space is tight but impact is needed. It fits sports and action-oriented branding, bold packaging callouts, and short bursts of copy in social or campaign graphics, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The tone is fast, assertive, and athletic, with a retro-leaning headline character. Its compressed, slanted stance suggests motion and urgency, making it feel punchy and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a condensed footprint, combining a clean sans structure with rounded geometric shaping and a pronounced forward slant for motion and immediacy.
The narrow set and dense texture create strong vertical rhythm and economy of space, especially in all-caps. Rounded corners and simplified joins keep the design smooth at larger sizes, while the strong slant adds momentum and a distinctive silhouette in running text.
