A compact, heavily built sans with a pronounced forward slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes stay broadly uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark lettershapes and small internal counters. Curves read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than fully circular, and joins are smooth with softened corners. The rhythm is quick and compressed, with short crossbars, narrow apertures, and a generally tall, upright silhouette despite the italic angle.
Best suited to display settings where impact and immediacy matter—sports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, and bold packaging. It can work for short bursts of text such as subheads or callouts, but the tight counters and dense color favor larger sizes and generous tracking.
The overall tone feels fast and forceful, with a competitive, high-energy attitude. Its compressed, leaning stance suggests speed and urgency, while the dense weight adds a blunt, no-nonsense confidence.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining a speed-driven italic stance with sturdy, rounded-rectangular construction for strong visibility and a modern, performance-oriented feel.
Uppercase forms are particularly solid and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains a compact, slightly more calligraphic flow under the same slanted construction. Numerals match the heavy, condensed build and keep a consistent, dark texture in running text.
