A condensed, forward-leaning sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly packed counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and terminals that feel softened rather than calligraphic. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with tall lowercase proportions and short extenders, keeping lines dense and energetic. Diagonals and joins are crisp, and the overall silhouette reads as a streamlined display face rather than a text workhorse.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, apparel graphics, and bold packaging. It works well where tight horizontal space and a sense of motion are useful, and where strong lettershape presence is more important than long-form comfort.
The typeface conveys speed and insistence, with a driven, athletic tone that suggests motion and impact. Its rounded-rectilinear forms add a utilitarian, engineered flavor, while the strong slant gives it a headline-like urgency. The result feels modern-retro in the way of classic sports and action branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a fast, engineered look. It prioritizes bold presence and dense texture to keep headlines energetic and space-efficient.
Numbers follow the same compact, forward-tilting construction, keeping widths controlled and silhouettes bold. Uppercase forms are especially punchy in short words, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, compressed texture that holds together at larger sizes.
