A tightly condensed, heavy oblique sans with compact counters and a distinctly squared-yet-rounded construction. Curves read as softened rectangles, giving bowls and rounds a superelliptical feel, while terminals stay blunt and sturdy. The overall rhythm is vertical and dense, with short extenders and a broad, stable baseline presence; shapes like O/0 are narrow and pill-like, and diagonals (K, V, W, X) are steep and assertive.
Best suited for short, emphatic text where space is limited but presence is required—headlines, posters, promo banners, and sports-leaning identity work. It can also work for packaging callouts and editorial cover lines where a compressed, energetic typographic color helps text cut through.
The tone is loud and kinetic, with a forward-leaning, high-impact voice that suggests speed and intensity. Its compressed silhouette and chunky forms feel contemporary and athletic, leaning toward display messaging rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectangular geometry for a modern, industrial feel.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines stay cohesive. Round letters keep generous rounding at corners while maintaining tight apertures, reinforcing a tough, utilitarian texture in paragraphs and headlines alike.
