A condensed, strongly slanted sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and compact proportions. Curves and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry, giving O/C/D-style forms a squarish roundness while keeping apertures relatively tight. Terminals are clean and largely blunt, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with short extenders and a prominent x-height that keeps lowercase forms broad-shouldered and sturdy. Numerals share the same compressed, forward-leaning stance and simplified, blocky silhouettes.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, promo graphics, sports-themed branding, and attention-grabbing packaging. It also works well for short labels and UI callouts where space is limited and a bold, dynamic presence is desired.
The tone is fast, assertive, and utilitarian—built to feel energetic and forceful rather than delicate or literary. Its slant and compression suggest motion and intensity, producing a contemporary, performance-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact in constrained horizontal space while projecting speed and strength. Its rounded-rectangle construction and blunt finishing aim for a modern, industrial clarity that holds up in bold, slanted display settings.
In text, the narrow set and tight counters create a strong black texture, especially in all caps. The design maintains consistent weight through curves and joins, emphasizing impact and clarity at larger sizes over airy openness.
