A heavy, condensed oblique sans with a distinctly squared, superellipse construction. Strokes stay broadly even, with rounded rectangle bowls and tight apertures that create a compact, vertical rhythm. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, and many joins are blunt and direct, emphasizing a sturdy, mechanical feel. Counters are small but cleanly cut, and the overall silhouette reads tall and tightly packed, with confident, poster-like presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and title treatments where its condensed width and heavy weight maximize presence. It also works well for sports branding, energetic packaging, and signage-style graphics that benefit from a compact, high-contrast silhouette.
The font projects speed and punch: assertive, forward-leaning, and slightly retro. Its squared-round geometry and compressed width evoke athletic branding, action titles, and industrial labeling, with a playful edge that can feel comic-book adjacent when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with squared-round forms to communicate speed, toughness, and modernized retro flavor.
The numerals and uppercase share the same compact, upright geometry with consistent rounding, helping headings feel uniform. The oblique angle is strong enough to suggest motion without becoming cursive, keeping the tone more engineered than handwritten.
