A compact, heavily weighted sans with a consistent forward slant and tall, upright proportions. Strokes are thick with subtly rounded outer corners and squared-off terminals, creating a solid, machined silhouette. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with occasional stencil-like openings and notch cuts that add texture and improve differentiation at display sizes. The rhythm is tightly set and uniform, with simplified shapes and a strong vertical emphasis that keeps words reading as dense, dark bands.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short-form statements where maximum impact is the priority. It also fits sports-oriented branding, team marks, event graphics, product packaging, and bold logo wordmarks that benefit from a condensed, forward-leaning presence.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a retro athletic and industrial edge. Its slanted stance and chunky construction feel fast, competitive, and attention-grabbing, suited to bold messaging that needs to land immediately.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a fast, competitive feel, combining condensed proportions with sturdy, slightly industrial detailing for strong recognition at a glance.
The numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, with compact apertures and sturdy geometry that reads well in short strings. In the sample text, the heavy color and tight internal spaces suggest it will perform best with generous tracking and adequate line spacing, especially in all-caps or long headlines.
