A compact, oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly set proportions. Curves are built from rounded, squarish bowls and soft corners, giving letters a superelliptical feel rather than purely geometric circles. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with sturdy diagonals and simplified joins that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short subheads, and prominent callouts where an energetic, condensed italic presence is needed. It works well for sports and performance branding, event graphics, packaging, and bold UI accents, but may feel heavy for long-form reading at small sizes.
The slanted stance and dense weight create a fast, forward-leaning tone that reads as sporty and high-impact. Its rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the voice contemporary and approachable while still feeling forceful and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward slant with rounded-rectangular curves to project speed and modernity while staying clean and highly legible in display contexts.
Uppercase forms appear compact and slightly squared in their round letters (e.g., C/O/Q), while lowercase maintains a single-storey construction where applicable and keeps apertures fairly tight. Numerals share the same stout, oblique construction and rounded corners, supporting a consistent, poster-ready texture across mixed text.
