A tightly condensed oblique sans with thick, uniform strokes and squared-off terminals. The letterforms are built from narrow vertical stems and angular joins, with occasional cut-in notches and internal corners that create a sharp, engineered texture. Counters are small and compact, and many glyphs rely on straight segments with minimal curvature, producing a rigid, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed proportions, keeping a consistent, punchy silhouette across the set.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum are desired—headlines, posters, and large typographic lockups. It works well for sports branding, energetic promotional graphics, and bold packaging titles, especially when set with generous tracking or ample surrounding whitespace to balance its dense, condensed forms.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, with a forward slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its hard edges and dense weight read as assertive and industrial, leaning into a retro display energy often associated with action-oriented branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compressed footprint, combining a strong oblique stance with angular, machined details to signal speed and intensity. Its construction prioritizes a distinctive, performance-driven look over neutrality, aiming for recognizable silhouettes in short bursts of text.
At larger sizes the distinctive notches and angular shaping become a defining graphic feature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense strokes can make forms feel more compact and intense. The texture is strongly directional due to the consistent slant, which amplifies a sense of speed in headlines.
