A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a forward-leaning, back-slanted stance that creates a distinctive diagonal rhythm across words. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than perfect circles, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. Terminals are generally blunt and squared, with occasional angled cuts that add bite in letters like t, r, and k. Spacing feels tight and efficient, producing dense, high-impact lines of text while maintaining clear counters and sturdy joins.
Best suited for display contexts where strong impact is desired—headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold packaging typography. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when a condensed, emphatic voice is needed, but it is visually intense for long-form reading.
The overall tone is forceful and contemporary, with a sporty, poster-like urgency. Its slanted posture and compact width add motion and tension, making it feel active and attention-seeking rather than neutral or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space, combining a compact build with geometric, rounded-rectangle forms and a distinctive reverse slant for added motion. Its consistent weight and sturdy construction suggest a focus on clarity and presence at larger sizes.
Round letters such as O, Q, and 0 read as slightly squashed, rounded rectangles, reinforcing the geometric, industrial character. The numerals are similarly chunky and compact, designed to hold their shape at display sizes. The texture across lines is intentionally dark, with strong vertical presence and limited white space.
