A compact, oblique sans with heavy, rounded strokes and tight interior counters. The letterforms are strongly right-leaning with a subtly irregular, hand-cut rhythm that keeps curves lively and terminals slightly faceted rather than mechanically uniform. Proportions are condensed with short extenders and sturdy joins, producing dense word shapes that hold up well at larger sizes and in high-impact settings.
Best suited to headlines, short subheads, logos, and callouts where a strong slanted voice helps convey speed and emphasis. It can also work for bold packaging or event graphics, but the dense counters and compressed width make it less ideal for long-form body text at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, suggesting motion and urgency. Its compressed slant and chunky forms give it a sporty, poster-like feel with a mild vintage flavor, leaning more bold and playful than refined or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, motion-forward sans that reads quickly and feels contemporary, while retaining a slightly analog, cut-letter character for added personality.
Round letters (like O/C) maintain a squarish-oval footprint, helping text feel compact and blocky. The figures are equally heavyweight and attention-grabbing, matching the capitals closely for consistent impact across mixed content.
