A compressed, oblique sans with dense proportions and a strong forward slant. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle counters and softened corners that keep the heavy weight from feeling sharp. Curves (O, C, G, 0) read as narrow superellipse-like forms, while verticals dominate the texture and create an even, dark rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are sturdy, and spacing is tight, producing a compact silhouette with high visual impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and promotional graphics where a compact, energetic line can carry a lot of presence. It can work well on packaging and editorial titles when used with generous line spacing and simple supporting type.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a track-and-field or motorsport energy driven by the aggressive slant and compact width. It feels contemporary and assertive, while the rounded geometry adds a slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of headline and poster typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a forward slant and rounded-rectangle construction to create speed, density, and a cohesive display voice.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the narrow apertures and tight interior spaces don’t clog. Numerals follow the same condensed, oblique construction and match the uppercase weight and tempo, supporting strong, uniform headline blocks.
