A heavy, oblique sans with condensed proportions and compact, efficient counters. Curves and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving O/C/e and numerals a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt with subtly softened corners. The design shows pragmatic cut-ins at joins and tight apertures (notably in a, e, s), creating a crisp, engineered rhythm at large sizes.
Well suited to posters, sports and event branding, punchy headlines, and packaging where high impact and a condensed footprint are useful. It also works for short editorial callouts, subheads, and promotional graphics that benefit from a fast, forward-leaning emphasis.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and impact. Its chunky forms and tight spacing read as bold, modern, and slightly industrial, projecting confidence and urgency without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact in a tight horizontal space, combining a robust weight with streamlined, rounded-rectangle construction. Its oblique stance and compact counters suggest an emphasis on momentum, immediacy, and bold readability at display sizes.
Uppercase shapes are compact and sturdy, with broad verticals and short crossbars that emphasize density. The numerals follow the same squared-round construction, keeping a consistent texture across mixed alphanumerics. Because apertures are relatively small, the font’s strongest clarity and character appear in display settings rather than extended small text.
