A condensed, oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly packed proportions. Curves resolve into squarish, rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, and the overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tall lowercase giving the text line a strong, continuous band of color. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky construction for a cohesive headline look.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and brand marks where a condensed, slanted voice adds momentum and emphasis. It can work well for sports or event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI accents when set large enough to preserve interior counters.
The font reads as fast, assertive, and slightly retro, combining a streamlined slant with rugged, poster-like mass. Its squared-rounded forms and compressed stance suggest speed and impact, while the softened corners keep it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modernized, vintage-display flavor. Its consistent, heavy stroke and compact rhythm emphasize clarity at large sizes and strong visual presence.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, and the rounded corners help prevent dark joins from feeling brittle in tight settings. In longer lines the dense texture can build quickly, so it tends to feel most comfortable when given a bit of tracking or used at larger sizes.
