A heavy, right-slanted sans with tightly packed proportions and compact interior counters. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle curves paired with sharp, angled terminals, giving the letters a blocky silhouette with softened corners. Stroke weight stays broadly consistent, while counters and apertures are deliberately small, boosting density and impact. The rhythm is brisk and forward-leaning, with straightforward construction in both upper- and lowercase and similarly sturdy numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, bold branding marks, and packaging callouts. It performs especially well when used large and with ample surrounding whitespace, where its condensed slant and dense texture can read as intentional and energetic.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, suggesting speed, competition, and high-impact messaging. Its condensed, forceful presence reads as confident and slightly retro, with a poster-like urgency that prioritizes punch over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining a clean sans structure. By combining rounded-rectangle curves with aggressive angled terminals and a strong slant, it aims to communicate speed and strength in display settings.
Diagonal cuts on many terminals and the strong oblique angle create a continuous sense of motion across words. The small counters and close set proportions can make longer passages feel dark and compressed, but they reinforce the font’s headline-driven character.
