A heavy, right-slanted sans with tightly condensed proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with squared-off terminals softened by rounded corners, creating a superelliptical, blocky silhouette. The rhythm is vertical and punchy, with minimal interior space and a consistent forward lean that keeps letterforms visually compressed. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy, poster-like shapes; lowercase maintains the same dense texture with simplified, geometric forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as headlines, posters, and promotional copy where a dense, energetic texture is desirable. It also fits sports branding, apparel graphics, and packaging that benefits from a bold, forward-driving voice, as well as directional or retail signage where immediate attention is the goal.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, suggesting motion and intensity. Its condensed, oblique stance reads competitive and contemporary, with a utilitarian edge that feels at home in high-energy, performance-oriented contexts.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed build with an oblique angle to imply speed. Rounded superelliptical construction keeps the shapes contemporary and cohesive while maintaining a hard-working, industrial presence.
The design favors large, open outer shapes over delicate internal detail, so characters maintain impact even when tightly tracked. Rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and shoulders keep the texture smooth despite the aggressive slant, and the heavy weight produces strong figure/ground contrast against light backgrounds.
