A very heavy, oblique sans with compact, rounded-rectangle construction and subtly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and clean with small apertures and robust joins, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Counters tend to be narrow and slightly rectangular, and many terminals are cut on an angle, reinforcing forward motion. The rhythm is wide and muscular, with tightly packed internal spaces and occasional notch-like relief at joins that helps keep shapes from filling in at large sizes.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, bold editorial openers, and packaging fronts. It also works for short logo wordmarks and badges where a condensed, high-energy slant helps communicate speed and power; it is less ideal for long passages due to its dense counters and heavy texture.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and attention-grabbing, with a distinctly sporty and headline-driven feel. Its slanted stance and chunky forms convey momentum and confidence, leaning toward retro athletic and action-oriented branding rather than quiet neutrality.
The font appears designed to maximize visual punch and motion, combining oblique geometry, wide stance, and rounded-rectangular curves for a modern athletic display voice. Its simplified, compact interiors and angled terminals suggest an intention to stay legible at large sizes while projecting strength and momentum.
The design keeps curves controlled and boxy, giving rounded letters a superelliptical, almost stencil-like solidity. Uppercase forms read especially strong and compact; lowercase maintains the same heavy, forward-leaning voice with simplified shapes and minimal detailing.
