A heavy, condensed sans with an oblique slant and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are monolinear and tightly packed, with compact counters and blunt, softened terminals that keep the silhouette smooth despite the weight. Curves and straights share a consistent superelliptical geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a boxy-round feel, while the overall rhythm stays vertical and tall with minimal interior space.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, event promotions, and sports or streetwear branding. It can also work for packaging callouts and logo wordmarks where a compact, forceful presence is needed; it is less suited to long-form text due to its dense counters and tight proportions.
The tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, with a kinetic, forward-leaning stance that reads as fast and competitive. Its rounded corners soften the aggression slightly, lending a playful, throwback flavor suited to bold statements and energetic branding.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while keeping forms friendly and consistent through rounded-rect geometry. The oblique stance and compact construction aim for speed, emphasis, and a cohesive, modern-retro display voice.
In the sample text, the dense weight and narrow set create strong texture and high visual momentum, especially in all caps. The numerals follow the same compact, rounded-rect logic, maintaining uniform color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
