A heavy, right-slanted sans with chunky, tightly packed forms and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle modulation, and terminals are cut with crisp, angled facets that create a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. Counters are compact and often squared-off, keeping interior space tight at display sizes. Overall proportions feel upright and sturdy despite the italic slant, with broad shoulders and flattened curves that read as superelliptical rather than purely circular.
Best suited to display work where impact matters: sports branding, event posters, attention-grabbing headlines, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work for packaging and labels that need a tough, energetic presence, especially when set in short lines or large sizes.
The tone is bold and kinetic, projecting speed and competitive confidence. Its faceted cuts add a slightly industrial, retro-athletic flavor, making the voice feel punchy and promotional rather than neutral or literary.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum punch and motion through a pronounced slant, compact counters, and sharply cut terminals. The consistent superelliptical geometry suggests an intention to feel modern and engineered while retaining a throwback, sports-display attitude.
The design relies on a consistent system of angled ink traps/joins and beveled-looking corners, which helps maintain clarity in dense, high-impact settings. The numerals match the letterforms’ blocky geometry and slant, supporting cohesive headline and scoreboard-style compositions.
