A condensed, heavy sans with a consistent stroke and a backward-leaning slant. Forms are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle geometry, producing blunt terminals and softly radiused corners rather than sharp points. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, and curves (notably in O/C/G) read as superelliptic rounds. The rhythm is tight and punchy, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep the texture dense in text.
Best suited to display settings where density and weight can work as an advantage—headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also fit sports or gaming graphics and UI callouts where a tough, condensed voice is needed. For extended small-size reading, the heavy color and tight apertures may feel dense, so it’s strongest when used large or with generous spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and modern, with a sporty, industrial edge. The reverse slant adds a sense of motion and attitude, giving headlines a slightly unconventional, engineered feel. Its rounded block construction also nods to retro display lettering while staying clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width using a consistent, rounded-rect geometry. The backward slant suggests a deliberate attempt to differentiate from typical italic dynamics while maintaining a streamlined, industrial headline presence.
Uppercase shapes stay rigid and architectural, while lowercase remains similarly constructed and compact, prioritizing impact over delicate detail. Numerals are equally block-driven and legible at large sizes, matching the squared-round motif across the set.
