A compact, heavy sans with an oblique slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are broad and even, with minimal modulation, while curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes that keep counters open and sturdy. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, producing a dense, poster-like texture; round letters (O, C, G) read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles. The lowercase follows a single-storey construction with sturdy bowls and short ascenders/descenders, maintaining a consistent, compressed rhythm through text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where dense, high-impact typography is needed. The oblique stance and compact width make it a strong choice for sports and performance-themed graphics, as well as packaging and short-callout signage where space is limited and emphasis is required.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a fast, forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and impact. Its compact massing and squared-off rounds give it a utilitarian, athletic feel, while the smooth corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. In longer lines it reads like a headline voice—confident, loud, and slightly retro-industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, pairing heavy, even strokes with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, industrial clarity. The forward slant and tight rhythm suggest an emphasis on speed, momentum, and attention-grabbing display use rather than quiet text setting.
The numerals are similarly weighty and compact, matching the letterforms’ blunt geometry and maintaining strong legibility at display sizes. The slant and condensed fit create a prominent diagonal rhythm, especially in words with repeated verticals, which reinforces a dynamic, compressed texture across lines.
