A highly condensed, heavily weighted oblique sans with compact proportions and a strong forward lean. Strokes are low-contrast and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters that keep curves tight and controlled. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, producing a tall, compressed texture. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent engineered feel, and the numerals match with similarly narrow widths and simplified shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, sports and performance branding, and bold packaging callouts where space is tight but impact is required. It also works for editorial display lines and subheads that benefit from a fast, condensed voice; for extended reading, generous tracking and leading will help preserve clarity.
The font projects speed and pressure—assertive, competitive, and attention-grabbing. Its condensed stance and strong slant create a sense of motion, while the heavy black color reads as forceful and utilitarian rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strong oblique posture with compact, rounded-rectilinear construction. It prioritizes immediacy and a contemporary, engineered tone over softness or typographic nuance.
At display sizes the compressed letterforms lock into a strong blocky silhouette; in longer lines the tight internal spaces can visually merge, especially in combinations of verticals. The oblique angle is pronounced and consistent, helping maintain energy across headings and short statements.
