A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact, block-like construction and rounded corners. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness with broad, filled counters and a sturdy baseline presence. Curved letters (C, O, S) are elliptical and smooth, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and emphatic, giving the alphabet a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Terminals read as clean and blunt rather than calligraphic, and the overall spacing feels structured and even, supporting consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and packaging where strong presence and speed are desired. It can also work for labels, wayfinding-style callouts, and UI banners where a compact, emphatic italic is helpful, though longer paragraphs may feel visually intense due to its dense weight and slant.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its dense color and compact shapes create a confident, no-nonsense voice that can feel sporty and industrial, with a slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that reads quickly and projects motion. Its simplified geometry and sturdy stroke treatment prioritize clarity and punch over delicacy, targeting bold display communication in contemporary and retro-leaning graphic contexts.
Numerals are similarly compact and sturdy, with easily legible silhouettes at display sizes. The lowercase keeps a simple, utilitarian character, reinforcing a uniform, punchy typographic color across mixed-case settings.
