A tightly condensed, strongly slanted sans with heavy, continuous strokes and compact counters. The forms are built from blocky, rounded-rectangle masses that are sharpened by chamfered corners and frequent wedge-like notches, giving many terminals a cut, faceted feel. Curves are restrained and squared-off, with O/Q-like shapes reading as squarish bowls; diagonals are steep and dominant, and joins feel compressed to maintain a tall, upright rhythm despite the lean. Overall spacing is tight and the texture is dense, producing a dark, energetic line in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, album or event promos, packaging callouts, and punchy brand marks. It can also work for UI banners or in-game overlays where compact width and strong emphasis are needed, but it is less suited to long-form reading.
The tone is fast, forceful, and action-oriented—closer to sports branding and arcade or comic-book titling than to neutral editorial typography. Its slanted, carved shapes suggest motion and impact, with a slightly retro industrial flavor that reads as competitive and loud.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and intensity. The cut-corner detailing and squared bowls add a distinctive signature that keeps the style recognizable in both display lines and compact titles.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent condensed skeleton, helping mixed-case text keep a uniform, poster-like color. Numerals follow the same narrow, cut-corner construction, making them visually compatible for scores, dates, and short numeric callouts. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense forms may benefit from generous tracking and ample line spacing.
