A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and a strongly forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and high impact at display sizes. Curves are rounded but slightly squashed by the narrow set, while counters stay fairly open for the weight; terminals tend toward clean, blunt cuts rather than tapered finishes. The overall texture is tight and upright-to-italic with consistent, blocky geometry across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where impact and speed are priorities. It can work well for sports or streetwear branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage where a condensed, slanted voice helps convey motion and intensity.
The font reads as energetic and insistent, with a fast, athletic tone driven by its steep slant and concentrated weight. Its compact, bold presence suggests urgency and motion, leaning into a contemporary, poster-ready voice rather than a quiet or delicate one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining a strong slant with dense weight for high-energy display typography. Its consistent stroke treatment and simplified shapes prioritize clarity and momentum over refinement.
The uppercase is especially commanding and compact, while the lowercase maintains clear, single-storey forms with a straightforward, workmanlike feel. Numerals are sturdy and wide enough to remain recognizable under the heavy weight, supporting headline-style numeric emphasis.
