A compact, heavy oblique sans with tightly packed proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and even, with softly rounded corners and squared-off curves that give bowls and counters a superellipse feel. Apertures are generally closed and counters are small, creating dense texture in words; terminals are blunt and cut cleanly, and joins stay sturdy rather than delicate. The numerals match the same condensed, weighty construction for a consistent, blocky rhythm across mixed text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are desired: posters, punchy headlines, sports and event branding, and bold packaging or labels. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when space is limited and a condensed, high-energy voice is needed.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a slanted posture that reads as energetic and assertive. Its dense black presence and compressed width evoke a utilitarian, no-nonsense voice with a subtle retro-sports and machinery flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while keeping forms approachable through rounded-rectangle construction. Its oblique angle and dense weight suggest a focus on motion and emphasis for attention-grabbing typographic moments.
In longer lines the tight counters and heavy color can make the texture feel compact, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when set in paragraphs. The strong diagonal stress helps maintain distinct word shapes in display sizes despite the narrow width.
