A condensed, heavy sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. The forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters are squarish yet softened at the corners, while joins stay clean and straightforward. Strokes maintain an even thickness with minimal modulation, giving a dense, steady color in text. Terminals are mostly blunt and clipped, and the numerals share the same compact, utilitarian construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where density and emphasis matter—headlines, posters, sports branding, and promotional graphics. It can also work on packaging or labels where a compact footprint is useful, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sports-and-industrial edge. Its narrow, forceful stance feels fast and efficient, delivering a sense of urgency and momentum. The softened corners keep it from feeling harsh, balancing toughness with approachability.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strong condensed structure with softened superelliptical rounding. The consistent stroke weight and clipped terminals prioritize clarity and punch over delicacy, making it a practical display tool for bold, energetic typography.
The slant and tight width create strong vertical rhythm and make word shapes feel compressed and punchy. Rounded counters in letters like O/C and the single-storey construction in the lowercase contribute to a modern, engineered feel that stays consistent across letters and figures.
