A condensed, heavily weighted sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact, upright proportions. Letterforms are built from chunky strokes with softened corners and rounded-rectangle counters, creating a squared-off yet smooth silhouette. Curves (C, O, Q, S) feel superelliptical rather than truly circular, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) stay rigid and tightly spaced. The texture is dense and assertive, with minimal modulation and simplified terminals that favor solid, uninterrupted black shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and esports identities, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics. It can work in brief subheads or labels when size and spacing are generous, but its dense weight and compact counters make it less comfortable for long-form reading.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, reading like a display face tuned for speed and impact. Its compact width and aggressive slant evoke sports branding, motorsport graphics, and bold headline systems where energy and urgency matter more than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms sturdy and consistent while the slant adds motion. It prioritizes immediate recognition and bold presence for display typography.
Round counters are relatively small compared to the heavy outer strokes, which amplifies the blackness and helps the face hold up at larger sizes. Numerals and uppercase share a similarly compressed footprint, producing a consistent, poster-like rhythm across mixed text.
