A condensed, heavy italic sans with compact proportions and rounded, superellipse-like counters. Strokes are thick and broadly even, with tight apertures and smooth curves that keep the silhouettes dense and efficient. The italic angle is pronounced, and many joins and terminals are cut with clean, angled shears, creating a crisp forward motion while maintaining soft interior rounding. Overall spacing feels tight and rhythmic, producing a solid, blocky texture in words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where speed and impact are priorities. It works well for sports branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage, especially when set large. For longer reading, its tight apertures and dense color suggest reserving it for emphasis rather than body copy.
The tone is fast and forceful, with a strong sense of momentum from the steep slant and compressed width. Its dense shapes and sharp angled cuts add urgency and impact, while the rounded interiors keep it from feeling harsh. The result reads as sporty and promotional, suited to energetic, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong italic drive with compact, rounded forms. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition over openness, making it a pragmatic choice for energetic display typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and compact with minimal openings, and round letters stay squat and firmly enclosed. Lowercase shows single-story shapes where expected and a looped, more expressive “g,” adding a slightly editorial flavor within an otherwise utilitarian, high-impact style. Numerals match the heavy, condensed build and maintain clear differentiation at display sizes.
