A heavy, compact sans with a consistent rightward slant and broad, block-like strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are mostly blunt and cut cleanly, and the overall texture is dark and continuous with tight interior counters that emphasize impact over delicacy. Figures and capitals follow the same sturdy, condensed construction, producing a uniform, high-density rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where immediate impact is the priority—posters, bold headlines, sports and event branding, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also work for short, emphatic UI labels or signage where a strong, compact word shape helps conserve space while staying highly visible.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with an athletic, no-nonsense energy. Its slanted stance and dense weight read as fast, loud, and attention-grabbing, evoking headlines, competition, and industrial signage more than quiet text typography.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular forms for a modern, controlled boldness. The construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent rhythm for branding and display typography.
The condensed proportions and tight counters make spacing feel compact, especially in all-caps and numerals. The rounded-rectangular shaping keeps it from feeling harsh, adding a controlled softness that can read as modern while still feeling reminiscent of bold display work.
