A compact, slanted sans with heavy, steady strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters (notably in O, Q, and 0/8/9), while joins and terminals stay clean and minimally detailed. The lowercase follows a straightforward, sturdy construction with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and tight internal spacing that keeps word shapes dense and uniform. Overall rhythm is driven by consistent vertical stems and clipped, softened corners rather than sharp points or calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, sports and team-style branding, packaging callouts, and event promotions. The dense, blocky forms maintain strong presence in large display sizes and can add motion and urgency to title lines and emphasis text.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and impact. Its compressed silhouettes and muscular weight read as sporty and promotional, leaning toward a retro display feel rather than a quiet, editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a high-energy display sans that combines condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle forms for maximum punch and immediacy. Its restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior prioritize bold legibility and a unified, branded look across letters and numerals.
Round characters are visibly “squared off,” producing a technical, superellipse-like flavor. Numerals match the same chunky, upright-to-slanted construction and hold up well at large sizes, with clear differentiation in 0, 8, and 9 through their compact counters and softened corners.
