A compact, condensed oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tight apertures. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes, giving counters a squarish, engineered feel while keeping corners softened. Terminals are blunt and decisively cut, with minimal modulation and a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and packed; lowercase is sturdy with simplified details and short extenders, producing dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, sports identities, event promotions, packaging callouts, and bold signage where speed and presence matter. It can work for subheads and captions when set with extra spacing, but it is primarily a display voice rather than a long-form text face.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and functional—like signage and performance branding. Its compressed width and strong slant create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded-square geometry adds a rugged, industrial confidence.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward slant with sturdy, squared-round forms to project speed, strength, and clarity in attention-grabbing applications.
Large sizes emphasize the chunky negative spaces and the squared-round counters; at smaller sizes, the tight apertures and condensed fit may call for generous tracking and leading. Numerals match the same compressed, heavy construction and read as bold, poster-like figures.
