A compact, slanted sans with tightly packed proportions and strong, continuous strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing oval counters and blunt, softened terminals rather than sharp points. The letterforms lean forward consistently, with narrow apertures and firm joins that keep silhouettes dense and poster-ready. Figures and capitals share the same compressed, vertical rhythm, emphasizing speed and economy of space.
Ideal for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where impact and motion are priorities. It suits sports branding, event promos, and packaging that benefits from compact width and strong emphasis. The condensed build also makes it useful for logotypes or wordmarks that need to fit narrow spaces while staying visually dominant.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-driven, with a distinctly retro display energy reminiscent of athletic graphics and action-forward headlines. Its forward slant and dense shapes create a sense of momentum and urgency, making text feel assertive and loud even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines condensed efficiency with an energetic italic stance. Its superelliptical construction and blunt terminals suggest a deliberate balance between mechanical precision and smoothness, aiming for a bold, modern-retro voice in branding and advertising contexts.
Because the forms are extremely compressed and the counters are tight, readability can drop quickly at small sizes or in long passages. It performs best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing, where its bold mass and slanted cadence can read as intentional rather than crowded.
