A compact, condensed sans with a strong oblique slant and heavy, low-contrast strokes. Counters are tight and rounded, with squarish-superelliptical curves that keep bowls and terminals smooth rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, with short ascenders/descenders and closely packed internal spaces that emphasize a tall, vertical silhouette. Numerals follow the same narrow, weighty construction, reading as solid blocks with rounded apertures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact statements where a dense, energetic texture is an advantage. It can work well for sports branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold editorial deck lines, particularly when set with a bit of extra spacing to maintain clarity.
The face projects speed and intensity, with a compressed stance that feels athletic and attention-seeking. Its forward slant and heavy color create a sense of motion and urgency, suited to messaging that needs to feel confident and high-energy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining an oblique, forward-driving stance with smooth, rounded construction for a contemporary, industrial feel. Its forms prioritize punchy legibility and a continuous dark typographic color for display use.
The narrow proportions and tight counters make the texture dark and continuous in longer lines, especially at smaller sizes. The italic angle and compact widths help it stack well in short phrases, while long passages can feel visually dense without generous tracking and leading.
