A condensed, oblique sans with heavy, compact letterforms built from straight-sided strokes and squared counters. The design uses angular terminals and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create a segmented, machined look, especially in rounded shapes. Curves are minimized and squashed into tight, rectangular bowls, while apertures stay narrow and vertical, producing a dense rhythm. The overall texture is dark and uniform, with crisp edges and minimal modulation, emphasizing speed and punch over softness.
Best suited to large-scale display applications such as posters, title treatments, sports and fitness branding, gaming or tech promos, and bold product packaging. It also works well for compact headlines where space is limited and a strong, fast visual impression is needed, while extended body text would be less comfortable due to the tight apertures and dense texture.
The font projects a forceful, kinetic tone—part sports headline, part industrial signage. Its slanted stance and carved-in details suggest motion, urgency, and competitiveness, while the rigid geometry adds a tough, engineered character. The result feels modern and assertive rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width, pairing a forward-leaning stance with hard-edged geometry and cut-in detailing to evoke speed and power. Its stylized construction prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a dark, driving rhythm for branding and headline-driven layouts.
At display sizes the internal notches and tight counters read as intentional styling and add visual bite; in longer lines they can accumulate into a busy texture. The oblique angle and compressed spacing make it especially attention-grabbing in short bursts, where the strong silhouette remains clear.
