A compact, heavy oblique sans with tightly fit proportions and a strong forward slant. Strokes are broadly uniform with blunt terminals and subtly rounded corners that give curves a superelliptical, squared-off feel. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend toward closed, producing a dense, poster-like texture. The x-height reads high for the lowercase, and curves in letters like C, O, and S show a controlled, rounded-rectangle construction rather than fully circular geometry.
Best suited to headlines, promo graphics, and branding where compact width and strong presence help text stay prominent in limited space. It works well for sports and event messaging, packaging callouts, and bold signage that benefits from a fast, energetic slant.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with an italic lean that suggests speed and momentum. Its dense color and compact spacing convey urgency and impact, leaning toward a sporty, industrial voice rather than a quiet or refined one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, pairing heavy weight with a consistent oblique posture for speed and emphasis. Rounded-rectangle curves keep the shapes sturdy and contemporary, aiming for punchy readability at large sizes.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the bold mass favors short-word reading and high-contrast layout situations. Round forms stay stable and sturdy, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s angular, forward-driving rhythm.
