A compact, heavily slanted sans with dense proportions and a strong forward lean. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, mixing broad straight runs with softened corners and closed, oval counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with squared terminals and occasional angled cuts that add snap to joins and diagonals. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is compressed, giving words a continuous, driven texture in text lines.
Best suited to display settings where immediacy and impact are needed—sports identities, team graphics, fitness or racing promotions, posters, and punchy digital hero text. It can also work for short labels or packaging callouts where a condensed, kinetic look helps conserve space while staying loud.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, high-tempo feel. Its forward slant and chunky construction suggest motion, speed, and impact, lending a confident, assertive voice to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a condensed footprint, combining rounded-rectangular construction with a strong slant to communicate speed and power. Its simplified, sturdy shapes prioritize quick recognition and bold presence in large sizes.
Uppercase shapes read particularly compact and vertical in their internal spaces, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright skeleton but remains strongly slanted overall. Numerals are similarly compressed and bold, designed to hold up in short, high-contrast statements rather than quiet reading.
