A tightly condensed, strongly slanted sans with tall proportions and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Curves are drawn with squarish, superelliptical rounding, while joins and terminals often taper to sharp, blade-like points. The rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with compact counters and a slightly compressed inner space that emphasizes verticality. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, punchy structure, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready texture across lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and title treatments where a compact footprint and strong directional slant help build energy. It works well for sports branding, cinematic graphics, and packaging callouts that need a bold, condensed voice and a distinctive silhouette.
The overall tone is high-impact and kinetic, reading as fast, tough, and attention-seeking. Its steep slant and tapered strokes suggest speed and urgency, giving it a sporty, action-oriented feel with a hint of retro display styling.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a sleek condensed build with aggressive contrast and a forward italic stance. The rounded-superellipse skeleton keeps the geometry cohesive while the sharp tapers add drama for display use.
The design relies on exaggerated contrast and tight width to create a dense, dark typographic color; this can feel intense in long settings but striking in short bursts. Rounded-rectangle curve construction keeps the forms modern and controlled even when the terminals become very sharp.
