A compact, oblique sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Corners and terminals are broadly radiused, giving letters a soft, molded silhouette while keeping counters tight and geometric. The forms are tall and compressed with a steady rhythm and minimal stroke modulation; curves are built from superelliptical arcs and straight segments, producing a sturdy, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same squared-round logic, maintaining consistent weight and a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
This font is best suited to short, prominent copy where density and motion are desirable—headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, packaging, and bold label work. Its compact width helps fit more characters into tight spaces while preserving a strong, unified block of text.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests speed and momentum. Its chunky, rounded geometry reads as retro-industrial and sporty, combining friendliness at the corners with a no-nonsense, high-contrast presence on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangular geometry and an oblique stance to communicate speed, strength, and modernized retro flavor. It prioritizes bold, cohesive silhouettes and consistent rhythm for display-driven typography.
The narrow set width and tight apertures create a dark, compact typographic color, especially in longer settings. Diagonals and joins feel intentionally simplified and robust, favoring impact and coherence over delicate detail.
