A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy strokes and a compact horizontal footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel, while joins and terminals stay clean and largely unadorned. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with sturdy capitals and numerals, short extenders, and small apertures that read as dense and efficient at a glance.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand statements where condensed width helps fit more characters without losing presence. It also works well for sports, industrial, or performance-oriented visuals that benefit from a dynamic slant and dense typographic color.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its compact, blocky forms feel modern and utilitarian, leaning toward an industrial or sports headline mood rather than a quiet, editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean sans structure and a distinctive rounded-rectangle curvature. Its slanted construction and compact proportions prioritize immediacy and motion for display typography.
Round letters show noticeably squared-off curves, and diagonal strokes (such as in V/W/X and the slanted lowercase) emphasize speed and direction. The spacing in the sample text reads deliberately tight, reinforcing a compressed, punchy texture in lines of copy.
