A compact, heavily built oblique sans with tall proportions and tight internal counters. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with corners softened into rounded, superelliptical shapes that keep the forms sturdy rather than sharp. Curves read as squarish rounds (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R), while straight strokes stay rigid and vertical, producing a strong, poster-like rhythm. The numerals and capitals share the same dense, compressed stance, giving the set an emphatic, space-efficient texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, and bold branding elements where vertical space is limited. It can also work for attention-grabbing packaging and display signage, especially when a condensed, motion-oriented look is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a forward-leaning slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its condensed heft feels sporty and utilitarian—more about impact and momentum than refinement or delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width: a dense, oblique display sans that stays legible through simplified geometry, uniform stroke weight, and rounded-square construction.
Spacing and letterfit appear designed for dense headlines, where the dark mass and narrow widths create a continuous, high-ink silhouette. The rounding keeps the weight from feeling harsh, balancing aggression with a slightly engineered, streamlined finish.
