A compact, heavy italic sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad curves in C/G/S and oval, tightly enclosed counters in O/P/R that keep the texture dense. The slant is pronounced and consistent, and many terminals resolve into blunt, slightly angled cuts that reinforce forward motion. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with minimal modulation, while figures are wide-shouldered and chunky, matching the same rounded, compressed silhouette.
Works well for attention-grabbing headlines, sports and team-style branding, event posters, and packaging where a compact, high-impact wordmark is needed. It is also suitable for logos and badges that benefit from a rounded, condensed italic silhouette.
The overall tone is energetic and competitive, with a fast, confident stance suited to bold messaging. Its rounded geometry keeps the impact friendly rather than aggressive, giving it a sporty, poster-like presence with a subtle retro flavor.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, rounded sans character. The strong slant and blunt terminals suggest an emphasis on speed, momentum, and bold display readability.
The condensed proportions and small counters create a dark, continuous color that reads best at larger sizes. The italic angle and compact spacing produce a strong rightward rhythm, making short phrases and headlines feel especially driven.
