A compact, strongly slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly controlled counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a soft, superelliptical feel even in the most condensed letters. The design favors sturdy verticals and simplified joins, with short crossbars and minimized apertures that keep silhouettes bold and cohesive. Numerals and capitals maintain a uniform, poster-like rhythm, while lowercase forms stay compact and sturdy with limited interior space.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other large-scale messaging where impact and speed are priorities. It fits well in sports and automotive-style branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI banners where a condensed, forward-leaning voice helps conserve space while staying loud.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as fast, assertive, and competitive. Its rounded blockiness tempers the aggression slightly, landing in a contemporary, utilitarian voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a condensed build with a consistent slant for motion. Rounded superelliptical curves and uniform stroke weight suggest a focus on robust reproduction across print and screen while keeping forms simple and highly graphic.
At display sizes it delivers strong texture and clear word-shapes, but the dense counters and compressed proportions can cause interior details (like in a/e/s and some numerals) to darken quickly as size drops or tracking tightens.
