A compact, condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and heavy, uniform strokes. The outlines are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are broadly radiused, curves feel squarish rather than circular, and counters stay tight and rectangular. Terminals are blunt and softly rounded, creating a dense, blocky rhythm with minimal modulation. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and mechanical, while the lowercase keeps the same compressed stance with short extenders and small, punchy counters.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel or sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for brief subheads or labels where a condensed, energetic texture is desired, but the tight counters and dense weight make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Its rounded-square construction adds a retro-industrial flavor—confident and utilitarian rather than delicate—suggesting speed, impact, and engineered toughness.
This design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in narrow horizontal space while maintaining a softened, approachable edge through rounded-square forms. The consistent oblique angle and compact proportions prioritize motion and urgency, making the typeface feel purpose-built for bold display communication.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, reinforcing the compact texture in text. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the rounded corners help prevent the weight from feeling sharp despite the dense color.
