A highly condensed, right-slanted display face with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded terminals. The letterforms feel drawn rather than constructed, with subtly irregular curves and a brisk, forward rhythm. Many glyphs show small internal breaks or notches that create a stencil-like effect, while counters stay tight and vertical proportions are emphasized. Overall spacing is compact and the silhouette is tall and punchy, keeping word shapes narrow and fast-moving.
Well suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, and sports or event branding. It can also work on packaging and apparel graphics where a condensed, high-energy look helps maximize presence in limited horizontal space. For longer lines, larger sizes and slightly increased letterspacing will help maintain clarity.
The tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty, retro sign-painting feel. Its slanted stance and compact width convey speed and urgency, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe. The intermittent breaks add a gritty, streetwise edge that reads as bold and promotional.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining hand-drawn energy with a consistent condensed structure. The slant and heavy strokes aim to suggest motion and emphasis, while the stencil-like breaks add visual texture for display use.
The design relies on strong vertical stems and compressed bowls, so it performs best when given enough size and tracking to prevent dense areas from filling in. Numerals follow the same narrow, forward-leaning style and maintain the font’s brisk, poster-like rhythm.
