A heavy, oblique sans with tightly compressed proportions and compact counters. Strokes are broadly uniform, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep bowls and terminals smooth rather than sharp. The italic construction is assertive and consistent, creating a forward-leaning rhythm; joins are sturdy and interior spaces remain narrow, especially in letters like a, e, s, and the numerals. The overall silhouette is tall and compact, with simplified shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to large-size display work where its dense weight and compressed slant can create impact—headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and title cards. It can also work for short subheads or labels when space is limited and a strong, energetic voice is needed.
The face reads fast, forceful, and energetic, with a distinctly sporty, promotional tone. Its compressed slant and dense black presence suggest speed, impact, and urgency, leaning into a retro headline aesthetic often associated with racing, action, and high-intensity branding.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in narrow space, combining a bold, forward-leaning stance with simplified, rounded-rectangle construction for consistent texture. The intention appears to be high-impact display typography that signals motion and confidence without relying on decorative flourishes.
Uppercase forms are block-like and sturdy, while the lowercase stays similarly tight and upright in structure despite the overall slant. Numerals are narrow and punchy, matching the letterforms’ compact width and rounded corners, which helps maintain a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
