A compact, heavily built oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with tall, compressed proportions and tight internal counters that emphasize vertical rhythm. Curves are drawn as superelliptic arcs, giving bowls and numerals a squarish roundness, while terminals are blunt and clean. The italic slant is strong and consistent, producing a forward-leaning texture; spacing appears tight, and the overall color is dark and punchy even at modest sizes.
Best suited to short-form display settings where impact and motion matter: sports branding, event posters, energetic headlines, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or signage. It can also work for subheads or UI labels when a condensed, assertive voice is needed, though the dense weight and tight counters favor larger sizes.
The tone is fast, forceful, and athletic, with a slightly retro display energy reminiscent of sports graphics and high-impact signage. Its rounded geometry keeps the aggression controlled, reading more “engineered” than “handmade,” and the strong slant adds a sense of motion and urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strong oblique stance with rounded, engineered forms for a modernized sport/industrial feel. The consistent monoline structure and superelliptic geometry suggest an emphasis on clarity of silhouette and repeatable rhythm across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and compressed, while lowercase maintains simple, utilitarian shapes with compact apertures. Numerals are similarly narrow and robust, designed to hold together in high-contrast, high-speed contexts where a dense silhouette is desirable.
