A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves read as squarish and controlled, with softened corners and minimal stroke modulation, creating a sturdy, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively compact, terminals are clean and mostly straight, and joins stay crisp despite the weight. Uppercase forms feel tall and compressed, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian rhythm with simple bowls and short apertures.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display settings where impact and pace matter—such as sports branding, promotions, posters, and bold packaging. It can also work for signage and wayfinding when set large, taking advantage of its tall, condensed footprint.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-driving, with a compressed slant that suggests speed and urgency. Its dense blackness and blunt geometry give it a tough, practical voice that feels at home in action-oriented and industrial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a slanted stance with robust geometry for a fast, commanding display voice.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces create a strong vertical emphasis and a compact word silhouette. At larger sizes the squared curves and rounded corners become a distinctive signature; in longer text the weight and compression may read best with generous tracking and leading.
