A slanted, compact sans with heavy strokes and smooth, rounded joins. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with relatively small counters and a forward-leaning rhythm that emphasizes speed. Curves are clean and continuous (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z are sturdy and decisive. Terminals are generally blunt and squared-off, keeping the overall silhouette solid and high-impact. Numerals are similarly condensed and weighty, with simple, legible shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, promotional ads, and packaging callouts. It can work for brief emphasis in UI or editorial layouts (subheads, pull quotes), but the dense shapes and compact counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone feels fast, assertive, and contemporary. Its forward slant and dense color convey motion and urgency, giving it a sporty, headline-driven energy that reads as confident rather than delicate or formal.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, fast-moving voice in a compact footprint—maximizing impact while conserving horizontal space. The smooth geometric construction and blunt terminals point to an intention of clarity and punch in modern display typography.
The design maintains a consistent, even texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong typographic “stripe” in lines of text. The condensed proportions and small inner spaces make it most effective when set with comfortable spacing and not pushed too small.
