A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, superelliptical construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and broadly flattened terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. The slant is consistent and forward-leaning, and the overall rhythm is tight and compact, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that read clearly at display sizes. Figures are similarly robust, with large interior shapes and a solid, blocky presence.
Best suited to high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, and large-scale messaging where its mass and slant can work as a graphic element. It also fits sports branding, promotional materials, and packaging that needs immediate shelf presence and bold, modern emphasis.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, performance-oriented feel. Its forward lean and dense black weight create a sense of speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact, fast-leaning voice, combining geometric rounding with a dense weight for strong readability and brand impact. It prioritizes confident, contemporary signaling over delicacy, aiming for clear forms that hold up in loud, attention-driven settings.
The lowercase shows a clean, utilitarian structure with straightforward bowls and a single-storey feel where applicable, reinforcing a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. The strong diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and the angular forms of the numerals amplify the font’s momentum in headlines.
