A compact, right-slanted sans with tightly set proportions and heavy, uniform strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: counters are narrow and vertically oriented, curves are softened into squarish bowls, and joins stay clean without visible contrast modulation. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce the forward motion. The overall texture is dense and rhythmic, with short ascenders/descenders and sturdy numerals that echo the same compressed, superelliptical structure.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports branding, event posters, promotional headlines, and bold packaging callouts. The compressed width makes it effective when space is limited, while the slanted stance helps directional messaging, labels, and apparel graphics feel more dynamic.
The typeface projects speed and pressure—confident, assertive, and utilitarian rather than delicate. Its steep slant and condensed massing read as athletic and punchy, lending a sense of momentum that suits high-energy messaging.
The design appears intended as a condensed, forward-leaning display sans that maximizes impact and legibility at larger sizes. Its rounded-rectangle construction and sturdy strokes aim for a contemporary, engineered look that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Round characters like O/Q and 0 lean toward squared-off ovals, while diagonals in letters such as N, V, W, X, and Y create sharp internal wedges that amplify the mechanical feel. The punctuation and figures shown maintain the same compact, forceful silhouette, helping headlines stay visually consistent across mixed-case and numeric settings.
