A tightly condensed, heavily weighted oblique sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a solid, poster-like color, while counters are narrow and vertically oriented for a compact rhythm. The slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, with simplified joins and minimal modulation that keeps forms clean and mechanical. Numerals and punctuation follow the same compressed, forward-leaning structure for a cohesive set.
This font excels in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and compact signage where space is limited. It is especially effective when set large, where the tight counters and condensed width become a deliberate graphic texture.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and energetic, with a strong sense of motion from the pronounced slant and compressed proportions. Its compact, muscular shapes read as athletic and slightly retro, suggesting speed, competition, and high-impact messaging. The rounded edges prevent it from feeling harsh, keeping the attitude bold but approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and confidence. Its rounded-rectangular construction and consistent stroke weight aim for a modern, engineered feel that remains legible and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Round letters (like O/C) lean toward tall superelliptical bowls, and the family’s spacing appears tight to match the condensed silhouette. The design prioritizes uniform visual mass and clear silhouettes over interior openness, which heightens impact in large sizes.
