A heavily condensed, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a tight overall rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters that keep curves smooth and sturdy. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and the forms lean on strong verticals with occasional angled joins, creating a slightly mechanical, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, high-density construction for consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, promotional headlines, sports and fitness branding, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work on packaging or labels where space is limited and a strong, forward-leaning presence is desirable.
The tone is fast, forceful, and athletic, projecting momentum and urgency through its strong slant and compressed width. It reads as energetic and attention-grabbing, with a hint of vintage headline swagger.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in narrow spaces, pairing a strong italic stance with compact, robust letterforms for a sense of speed and confidence.
The combination of extreme condensation and heavy weight produces a dark typographic color, especially in longer phrases, which amplifies impact but can feel intense at smaller sizes or in extended paragraphs.
