A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and tightly drawn counters. Strokes stay broadly even and sturdy, while terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, keeping the overall texture dense and dark. Curves are rounded and energetic, and the obliqued construction creates forward motion without adding decorative details. Numerals follow the same robust, condensed rhythm for a consistent, high-impact line of text.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications where impact matters most—headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and promotional graphics. It also works well for packaging callouts and bold labels where a compact italic can fit more characters while still reading as emphatic.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, competitive feel typical of headline-driven typography. Its dense weight and italic angle read as urgent and confident, making it feel sporty, promotional, and action-oriented.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using a strong italic slant and sturdy, even strokes to project speed and emphasis. The restrained detailing suggests a focus on clarity at display sizes rather than expressive ornamentation.
The narrow set and dark color create strong word-shape blocks, so spacing and line breaks will noticeably affect readability at smaller sizes. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian feel with simple forms and minimal articulation, reinforcing the font’s blunt, modern character.
