A compact, condensed sans with a steep oblique slant and heavy, even stroke weight. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, curves are squarish, and counters stay tight and efficient. The rhythm is tall and vertical, with short crossbars and minimal interior space, producing dense word shapes. Terminals are blunt and clean, and punctuation and numerals follow the same sturdy, simplified construction for a consistently forceful texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and promotional copy where a dense, energetic texture is desirable. It also fits sports branding, product packaging, and wayfinding or label-style signage that benefits from a compact footprint and strong emphasis.
The overall tone is fast, emphatic, and utilitarian—more about impact than delicacy. Its slanted, compressed stance suggests motion and competitiveness, while the rounded block construction adds a friendly, engineered feel reminiscent of vintage sports and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular forms for a modernized, sporty display voice. The consistent, heavy construction suggests a focus on reproducible, attention-grabbing typography across print and large-format applications.
In the text sample, the tight spacing and narrow counters create a strong, dark color on the line; it reads best when given a bit of breathing room and used at sizes where the compact apertures remain clear. The figures are tall and uniform, matching the uppercase presence and reinforcing a poster-like, headline-forward personality.
