A tightly condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy strokes and compact counters. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and curves a smooth, slightly squarish softness rather than pure circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and cut cleanly, with minimal stroke modulation and a steady, uniform rhythm across the set. The uppercase is tall and commanding; the lowercase stays compact with sturdy joins and short extenders, maintaining a dense, vertical texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for attention-grabbing signage or UI banners where compact width helps fit more characters into limited space. For longer passages, its dense texture is likely to be most effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as athletic and promotional. Its compressed proportions and heavy ink presence create a sense of urgency and emphasis, suited to messaging that needs to feel loud and immediate without decorative flair.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward slant with sturdy, rounded-rectilinear shapes for a contemporary, energetic voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent rhythm for clear, emphatic display typography.
The narrow set width and tight internal space make the font feel economical and stacked, especially in all-caps. Rounded corners and softened rectangular curves keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the strong slant adds motion and a headline-driven attitude.
