A compact, slanted sans with dense, rounded-rectangle construction and tightly contained counters. Strokes are monolinear and heavy, with softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp despite the strong black footprint. The capitals are tall and narrow, with simplified geometry and minimal apertures, while the lowercase maintains a large body and compact joins for a consistent, compressed rhythm. Figures follow the same condensed, forward-leaning stance, reading as sturdy and poster-ready.
Best suited for headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and bold packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for labels, badges, and UI promo callouts when space is limited and strong emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, like sports signage or high-impact promotional lettering. The forward slant and compressed proportions create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded, blocky shapes add a rugged, utilitarian confidence. It carries a slightly retro display flavor without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal width, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded, superelliptical forms for a cohesive, energetic display texture. Its simplified, monolinear construction suggests a focus on clarity and repeatable shapes that hold together in loud, graphic applications.
The design prioritizes mass and momentum over openness: bowls and apertures stay tight, and interior spaces are small, which amplifies the inked presence at larger sizes. The consistent slant across letters and numerals helps maintain a unified texture in headlines and short bursts of text.
