A heavy, forward-slanted sans with condensed proportions and a compact, high-impact footprint. Letterforms are built from squared, rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are smoothly radiused while stems and bowls stay taut and flat-sided, creating a superelliptic feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with subtle contrast from the slant and internal shaping, and counters tend to be tight and often vertically oriented. Terminals are mostly blunt and angled, with occasional small cut-ins/notches that reinforce a machined, athletic rhythm. Figures follow the same condensed, punchy construction for consistent color in headlines.
Well suited to sports identities, event graphics, promotional posters, and bold editorial headings where a sense of speed is helpful. It can also work for product packaging, teamwear, and UI moments that need short, high-contrast calls to action, especially when set large with slightly open tracking.
The overall tone is fast and forceful—built to signal motion, competition, and intensity. Its compact width and steep slant read as energetic and assertive, while the rounded-square construction keeps it modern and controlled rather than chaotic.
The likely intention is a display face optimized for impact and motion: a condensed, slanted build that maximizes ink coverage and presence, paired with rounded-square forms to keep the voice contemporary and brandable.
The design maintains a strong, even texture in all-caps, and the lowercase echoes the same compressed, angular momentum. Tight counters and dense letterspacing tendencies mean it performs best when given a bit of breathing room at display sizes rather than in long, small-text passages.
