A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with squared terminals softened by generous corner rounding, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Curves and counters tend to be squarish rather than circular, and the overall rhythm is tight and efficient, with forms that feel engineered for impact at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, sports or esports branding, and punchy packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work well in UI banners, labels, and short calls-to-action, especially when space is limited and emphasis is the priority.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and urgency. Its dense, compressed shapes read as sporty and competitive, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh or overly technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a space-efficient footprint, combining oblique momentum with rounded-rectangular forms for a modern, athletic feel. The consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest a focus on bold, scalable display typography that stays cohesive across letters and figures.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistently blocky construction, and the numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic for a cohesive set. The boldness and tight interior spaces make it most comfortable in short bursts, where the strong silhouettes can do the work without relying on fine detail.
