A heavy, condensed slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft, squared-off terminals. Curves read as superelliptical and tightly controlled, giving counters a compact, streamlined feel. Strokes stay broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, with short joins and simplified interior spaces that prioritize bold silhouette over delicate detail. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, aerodynamic proportions for a cohesive, headline-oriented texture.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for sports identities, event promotions, and bold UI/label moments when set at larger sizes.
The font conveys speed and impact, mixing a retro display attitude with a modern, engineered smoothness. Its forward slant and compressed forms create an assertive, energetic tone that feels at home in sports and action-oriented branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width while staying friendly through rounded corners and smooth superelliptical curves. Its consistent slant and simplified shapes suggest an emphasis on speed, clarity, and brandable punch in short text runs.
The combination of tight apertures, compact counters, and heavy mass favors large sizes where the rounded geometry can read clearly. The slant is consistent across the set, reinforcing a continuous, motion-driven line when used in words or short phrases.
