A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced rightward slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are broadly uniform and terminate in softly rounded corners, giving many forms a rounded-rectangle, superelliptic feel rather than true geometric circles. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, which increases density and impact. The overall rhythm is upright in construction but consistently obliqued, with sturdy verticals, short crossbars, and smooth, simplified joins that read cleanly at display sizes.
This font performs best in headlines, signage, and promotional layouts where a dense, high-impact voice is desirable. It fits sports and streetwear branding, event posters, packaging fronts, and short tagline work that benefits from a fast, slanted feel and sturdy, rounded forms. In paragraphs it will read as emphatic and compressed, so it’s better reserved for display roles than long-form text.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, poster-like punch. Its rounded massing keeps it friendly while the condensed, forward-leaning silhouette adds urgency and motion. The result feels suited to energetic branding that wants to look bold, modern, and slightly retro-athletic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint while keeping forms approachable through rounded, superelliptic shaping. The consistent slant and simplified construction suggest an emphasis on speed, strength, and clear silhouette recognition in branding and display typography.
Round letters such as O/Q are more like rounded squares than perfect ovals, reinforcing the compact, engineered look. The numerals share the same chunky, rounded structure and appear built for high-impact headings rather than extended reading at small sizes. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned to keep words visually tight and cohesive, producing a strong black silhouette in text lines.
