A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact internal spaces and a squared, superellipse-like construction. Strokes read as broadly uniform with crisp cut-ins and small counters that heighten the stencil-like, poster-black silhouette. Corners are consistently rounded, while terminals are often sheared or notched, creating a faceted, engineered feel. Proportions lean extended horizontally, with sturdy caps and a utilitarian lowercase; the figures are similarly blocky and built from rounded rectangles for a cohesive, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-visibility text such as headlines, event promotions, sports and esports identities, team or product marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for subheads and display lines where impact matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and performance-driven, suggesting motion through the pronounced slant and dense, muscular shapes. It carries a contemporary, competitive energy that feels at home in sports and action-oriented branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern construction—combining rounded-rectangle geometry with sharp cut-ins and an energetic slant to communicate speed and strength.
The tight apertures and compact counters can reduce clarity at small sizes, but the strong silhouette and consistent rounding make it read cleanly in larger settings. The oblique angle is substantial, so spacing and line breaks benefit from a bit of breathing room in layouts.
