A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a tall, compressed silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible modulation, and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes that keep counters fairly tight. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, with softened corners that prevent the forms from feeling sharp. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with straightforward, utilitarian letter construction and sturdy numerals that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and sports or event branding. It can work for logos and packaging where a compact, energetic wordmark is needed, and it holds up well in numeric-heavy applications like scores, pricing, or product codes at display sizes.
The tone is forceful and energetic, leaning toward an athletic or promotional voice. Its strong slant adds momentum and urgency, while the chunky, rounded construction keeps it feeling contemporary rather than aggressive. Overall it communicates speed, impact, and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong slant for motion with rounded-rectangle geometry for a modern, engineered feel. It prioritizes bold presence and fast recognition over delicate detail, making it a practical choice for attention-driven display typography.
The compressed bowls and counters (notably in letters like B, P, R, and 8) create a dark, compact texture in lines of text. The slant is pronounced enough to suggest motion, and the softened corners help maintain legibility despite the heavy fill and tight internal space. The figures share the same sturdy, condensed build, supporting consistent emphasis in mixed alphanumeric settings.
