A condensed, heavily slanted sans with compact proportions and blunt, rounded-rectangle terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves built from squarish bowls and softened corners rather than true circles. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be narrow, giving the forms a dense, forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders/descenders, and the figures follow the same compressed, oblique construction for a consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It works well for sports and performance-themed graphics, attention-grabbing packaging, and short signage messages, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing. For longer passages, it’s more effective in brief bursts than extended reading.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and utilitarian, evoking motion and impact. Its compressed width and strong slant create a sense of speed and urgency, while the rounded, blocky geometry keeps it approachable rather than sharp. The result feels sporty and slightly retro, like lettering designed to grab attention in a hurry.
Likely intended as a space-efficient, high-energy display sans that maximizes impact in narrow layouts. The strong slant and rounded-rectangular construction suggest a focus on speed, visibility, and a cohesive, industrial-modern texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design maintains a disciplined vertical rhythm despite the strong slant, with consistent stroke endings and squarish curves that keep word shapes cohesive. At larger sizes the distinctive rounded-rectangle construction becomes a key personality cue; at smaller sizes the tight counters and compressed spacing can make text feel dense.
