A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, even stroke weight and minimal contrast. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: curves stay smooth and compact, counters are small, and terminals tend to be blunt or softly rounded rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, with a tall lowercase set and short extenders that keep lines visually dense. Numerals and capitals share the same compact width and sturdy, engineered feel, reading as built-for-impact display shapes rather than airy text forms.
Best suited to attention-driven applications such as headlines, posters, and high-impact brand marks, especially where horizontal space is limited. It works well for sports or performance-oriented identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage, and can serve for short bursts of editorial emphasis when spacing is managed to preserve clarity.
The tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, suggesting motion and urgency. Its compressed stance and pronounced slant give it a sporty, competitive energy, while the uniform weight and rounded geometry keep it feeling modern and technical rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining a strong oblique stance with sturdy, rounded, industrial forms. It prioritizes speed, emphasis, and a consistent dark texture for display-driven typography.
In text settings the dark color builds quickly, creating strong emphasis and a consistent texture. The narrow proportions and tight internal spaces reward generous tracking and larger sizes, where the rounded corners and compact bowls remain clear and punchy.
