A heavy, oblique sans with wide proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and consistent, with softened corners and squared-off, slightly angled terminals that reinforce forward motion. Counters stay relatively compact at this weight, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy with a clear, modern superellipse feel across rounds and bowls. Figures match the letterforms with the same broad stance, sturdy weight, and streamlined curves.
Best suited for high-impact display use such as sports identities, event graphics, posters, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing UI headers. It can also work for short labels and callouts where a compact, energetic oblique sans is needed, rather than extended body text.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a fast, performance-oriented slant and a bold, headline-first presence. Its rounded corners keep the voice friendly rather than aggressive, reading as sporty and modern rather than harsh or mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning posture and broad, rounded geometry. The goal appears to be a contemporary, athletic headline style that stays approachable through softened corners and consistent, sturdy forms.
The design maintains a tight, cohesive silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing speed through oblique stress and slightly sheared details. At smaller sizes the dense interiors may reduce clarity, while at display sizes the wide stance and rounded geometry read cleanly and characterfully.
