A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and softly squared, superelliptical curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, solid silhouettes and tight interior counters. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while bowls and corners stay rounded rather than circular, giving a squarish-round texture across the alphabet. The overall rhythm is steady and bold, with slightly condensed letterforms that emphasize speed and impact.
This font suits high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, retail signage, and bold brand marks where a sense of speed is helpful. It’s a strong fit for sports and automotive-style graphics, energetic event promotions, and packaging that needs immediate shelf presence.
The tone feels fast, assertive, and performance-minded, like lettering designed to communicate momentum and strength. Its slant and mass create a sense of urgency and drive, while the rounded squareness keeps it contemporary rather than aggressive or sharp.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, contemporary feel—combining a forceful weight, forward motion, and rounded-rect geometry to stay legible and cohesive in large-scale, attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and compact, while the lowercase maintains the same dense color and slanted stance for cohesive headings. Numerals appear sturdy and clear at display sizes, matching the same squared-round construction and consistent stroke weight.
