A heavy oblique sans with compact, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with only modest modulation, producing dense black shapes and strong word silhouettes. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, and many joins resolve into smooth curves rather than sharp angles, giving the forms a streamlined, superelliptical look. The italics lean is pronounced, and spacing reads tight and energetic, emphasizing momentum over openness.
Well suited for sports identities, event posters, bold editorial headlines, and logo lockups where a fast, forceful voice is needed. It can work effectively on packaging and merchandise graphics, especially when the design benefits from compact, high-impact lines. Best used at display sizes to preserve counter clarity and avoid overly dark text color in dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is sporty and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and impact. Rounded corners temper the weight with a friendly softness, creating a bold, contemporary feel that still nods to retro athletic and motorsport lettering. It reads as attention-grabbing and decisive rather than delicate or formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, speed-oriented italic stance while keeping the shapes approachable through rounded, superelliptical construction. The goal appears to be a versatile display sans that reads instantly in branding and headline contexts, balancing aggression with smooth, modern geometry.
The font’s rhythm is driven by repeated vertical masses and rounded interior shapes, creating a cohesive, poster-like texture in longer lines. Numerals and lowercase share the same sturdy, compact logic, helping mixed-case settings maintain a consistent “block” of tone. The heavy weight and narrow apertures favor large sizes where the rounded geometry and slanted emphasis can be appreciated.
