A condensed, right-leaning sans with heavy, compact strokes and a slightly irregular, stamped texture at edges and terminals. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with softened corners and occasional notch-like counters that give a cut, carved feel. Curves (C, O, S) stay tight and squarish, while verticals dominate the rhythm, producing a dense, poster-ready color. Lowercase follows the same compressed structure with sturdy joins and short extenders, keeping the overall silhouette compact and emphatic.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence and compact width are advantages—posters, headlines, sports and event branding, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when space is limited, but the dense texture and slant favor larger sizes over extended reading.
The font projects a bold, high-energy tone that feels sporty and retro, like headline lettering from mid‑century packaging or athletic graphics. Its slant and tight proportions add urgency and motion, while the slightly rugged edges introduce an industrial, screen-printed attitude.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a kinetic slant with rounded-rectangle letterforms and rugged detailing to evoke vintage print and energetic branding.
Round letters read as superelliptical rather than fully circular, and the numerals share the same blocky, condensed construction for a cohesive display set. Spacing appears tuned for impact over elegance, favoring strong vertical patterning and clear word-shapes at larger sizes.
