A condensed, forward-slanted sans with chunky, rounded forms and compact counters. Strokes stay largely even, with gently curved joins and softened terminals that keep the texture smooth despite the heavy build. The letterforms lean on rounded-rectangle geometry—ovals and bowls feel slightly squared off—creating a tight, rhythmic pattern with minimal interior space and strong vertical emphasis.
Well suited to headlines, signage, and promotional graphics where a tight, high-impact voice is needed. It can work effectively in logos, badges, packaging, and sports or lifestyle branding, especially when space is limited and a condensed silhouette helps maintain hierarchy.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like attitude. Its slant and compact width add a sense of motion, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than severe, landing in a modern-retro space that feels lively and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining a forward slant with rounded, sturdy construction for a sense of speed and approachability. Its geometry and dense color suggest a focus on display typography rather than long-form reading.
The dense spacing and small counters make it read best at larger sizes, where the rounded details and compressed proportions are clearer. The numerals match the same compact, forward-leaning stance, supporting consistent display settings across headlines and badges.
