A heavy, tightly set sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded bowls and smoothly curved joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while curves on characters like C, G, S, and the numerals feel sturdy and slightly squared-off by the compression. The overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, producing a strong typographic “block” on the line.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a strong, condensed presence is needed. It works well for sports and event branding, promotional messaging, packaging callouts, and any layout that benefits from a forceful, fast-moving emphasis.
The face reads energetic and assertive, with a momentum that suggests speed and emphasis. Its compact, high-impact shapes give it a contemporary, no-nonsense tone that feels at home in attention-grabbing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a consistent slant with sturdy, rounded forms for legibility at display sizes. It prioritizes immediacy and visual punch over delicate detail.
Lowercase forms are straightforward and utilitarian, with simple construction and minimal modulation; the slant is consistent across letters and figures. Numerals are bold and stable, designed to hold their shape clearly at display sizes.
