A compact, condensed sans with a pronounced oblique slant and heavy, uniform stroke weight. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are small, giving letters a dense, space-efficient rhythm. Curves are round but slightly squared-off by the weight, while joins and terminals read clean and straightforward rather than calligraphic. Overall proportions favor tall, narrow forms with consistent widths and steady baseline behavior, producing strong color in text and headlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, promotional graphics, posters, sports and event branding, and packaging where condensed width helps fit more characters without losing presence. It can also work for bold labels or navigational/wayfinding text when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its dense shapes and strong emphasis create a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to bold messaging rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward slant with sturdy, simplified shapes for quick recognition and strong emphasis.
In the sample text, the heavy massing and tight spacing create a solid typographic block, making the type feel impactful at larger sizes. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, maintaining a cohesive, utilitarian look across mixed content.
