A condensed, heavily weighted sans with a consistent backward slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are monolinear and end in crisp, angled terminals that create a cut-metal, stencil-like rhythm without true breaks. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with squared-off bowls and notched joins that emphasize a faceted, engineered texture. The overall spacing reads dense and punchy, with a steady vertical cadence and strong silhouette contrast against the page.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, sports or team branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or signage where a condensed footprint is needed, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the tight counters and sharp interior shapes.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, combining a vintage display attitude with a sporty, machine-made edge. Its backward lean adds urgency and motion, while the hard corners and narrow build give it a rugged, no-nonsense character.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a backward slant and faceted terminals to suggest speed, toughness, and industrial precision. Its disciplined, modular construction prioritizes a strong silhouette and repeatable rhythm for display typography.
The letterforms favor straight segments and cornered transitions over smooth curves, producing a distinctive zig-zag flow in longer lines of text. Numerals follow the same compact, angular construction, keeping a uniform color and consistent impact across mixed copy.
