A compact, right-slanted sans with tall proportions and tightly drawn counters. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, giving the design a clean, poster-ready solidity. Curves are elliptical and controlled, while joins and terminals feel clipped and brisk rather than rounded or calligraphic. The condensed width and steep slant create a strong forward rhythm, with consistent spacing that keeps the texture even despite the narrow set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short bursts of copy where a condensed, forceful voice is useful. It works well for sports or fitness graphics, contemporary branding, packaging callouts, and promotional materials where space is tight but presence is needed.
The overall tone is urgent and high-impact, with a streamlined, kinetic feel that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented. Its compressed forms and pronounced slant suggest speed and decisiveness, making it feel more like display typography than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong slant with dense, uniform strokes to create a fast, modern texture. Its forms prioritize clarity and punch over nuance, aiming for a straightforward, attention-grabbing voice.
Lowercase forms maintain a simple, utilitarian construction, and the numerals follow the same tall, compressed logic for a cohesive typographic color. The design’s narrow apertures and compact counters emphasize density, which can increase drama at larger sizes but asks for comfortable line spacing in paragraphs.
