A heavy, oblique sans with squared-off, superellipse-like construction and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are thick with crisp, cut-in counters and frequent wedge-like terminals that create sharp internal notches, especially in letters like S, C, and G. The shapes lean forward consistently, with compact apertures and tight interior space that emphasize mass and silhouette over fine detail. Overall rhythm is punchy and modular, with a slightly mechanical feel and strong, simplified geometry.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports logos, esports and gaming graphics, posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and apparel/merch marks. It also works well for UI banners or section headers where a fast, technical tone is desired, but it’s less comfortable for long passages due to its dense interiors and strong slant.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, reading like performance branding and high-intensity display typography. Its forward slant and blocky forms suggest speed, impact, and a no-nonsense, engineered attitude. The compact counters and sharp cut-ins add a competitive, action-oriented flavor.
The design appears intended as a bold display face that communicates motion and strength through forward-leaning forms, compact counters, and rounded-rectangle geometry. Its letter construction prioritizes recognizable silhouettes and brand presence, aiming for maximum impact in large-scale settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, chunky geometry, and numerals match the same blunt, cut-terminal logic for cohesive headline use. The italic angle and dense letterforms benefit from generous tracking at large sizes to keep counters from closing up in darker settings.
