A tightly condensed, heavy sans with a consistent left-leaning slant and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and terminals are largely flat, giving the outlines a solid, blocklike silhouette. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, and many forms show small notches or cut-ins that sharpen joints and add angular tension within the otherwise rounded geometry. Overall spacing and letterfit feel built for dense, tall word shapes with strong vertical rhythm.
Best suited for display settings where space is tight but impact is required: headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, brand marks, packaging, and merchandise. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a forceful, condensed look is desired, but extended text will feel dense and heavy.
The font projects a loud, urgent voice—compressed, gritty, and energetic—like industrial labeling or high-impact display typography. Its slanted stance adds motion and aggression, while the rounded corners keep the tone from becoming overly sharp, nudging it toward a retro, poster-driven sensibility.
The design appears intended to maximize punch and vertical presence in narrow widths, combining a strong slant with rounded-rectangle shapes to create a fast, compact, attention-grabbing display voice. Its internal cut-ins and tight counters reinforce a mechanical, stamped or poster-print aesthetic while keeping forms coherent and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
In the sample text, long lines maintain a uniform dark color quickly, emphasizing mass and rhythm over delicate detail. The numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic and read as signage-like figures intended for impact rather than small-size nuance.
