A compact, oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a tightly packed footprint. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, counters are squarish, and curves feel like superellipses rather than true circles. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, with sturdy vertical stems and blunt terminals that keep the shapes dense and high-impact. Spacing appears tight and efficient, supporting large, punchy settings and stacked lines.
Best suited to short, prominent copy such as sports identities, team or event graphics, strong editorial headlines, posters, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits apparel and merchandise where condensed, slanted lettering needs to read quickly at a distance.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a forward-leaning posture that reads as athletic and action-oriented. Its dense blackness and compact forms convey urgency and confidence, leaning toward poster and sports branding energy rather than quiet text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while preserving clarity through simplified, rounded-rectangular forms. The strong slant and compact proportions suggest a focus on motion and emphasis for display typography.
Rounded-corner construction is evident across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a cohesive, engineered rhythm. Numerals share the same blocky, compressed stance and maintain strong legibility through simple, high-contrast silhouettes (in terms of shape separation) rather than delicate detail.
