A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact, monoline construction and strongly rounded corners. Counters are generally tight and apertures lean toward closed, giving the forms a dense, poster-ready color. Curves are built from simple, sturdy geometry, while diagonals and terminals keep a clean, cut-off finish. Spacing is even and gridlike, producing a steady, mechanical rhythm across letters and numbers.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging panels. The even, grid-consistent spacing and strong silhouettes also make it useful for labels, signage, and graphic systems where a forceful, uniform typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Its dense shapes and steady cadence suggest utilitarian strength and a retro display attitude, reading as confident and energetic rather than delicate or editorial.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a dense, slanted sans structure that stays visually uniform across characters. The intention appears to be a fast, assertive display voice that remains orderly and consistent for modular layouts and emphatic messaging.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping lines of text feel fast and unified. Round letters (like O/0) read as thick, compact ovals, while angled letters (like K, V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize sharp diagonals that reinforce the dynamic feel. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, supporting cohesive typographic palettes in headline systems.
