A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and tightly drawn counters. Strokes stay broadly even in thickness, with rounded bowls and smooth, elliptical curves that keep the texture solid and continuous. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, and the overall construction feels simplified and sturdy rather than detailed. The numerals match the letters’ weight and slant, producing a uniform, blocky rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and promotional copy where its dense weight and slanted momentum can carry the message. It also works well in branding contexts that benefit from a compact, athletic voice, such as sports identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and immediacy. Its dense black presence reads as confident and attention-seeking, leaning into a sporty, poster-like attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a condensed footprint while maintaining smooth, rounded sans forms. Its consistent slant and sturdy geometry prioritize immediacy and visual punch over delicate detail.
Spacing and internal whitespace are restrained, so the face creates a dark, compact paragraph color and strong headline silhouette. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel cohesive in mixed-case settings.
