A heavy oblique sans with compact, superelliptical curves and squared-off interior shaping. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving the letterforms a machined, block-like presence. Round letters (O, C, G) read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals in A, V, W, X and the angled joins throughout create a strong forward slant and steady rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the lowercase is built with a tall, sturdy silhouette, keeping words dense and punchy at display sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and other high-impact display settings where bold, slanted typography helps signal speed and intensity. It also fits sports branding, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage, especially when used in short phrases or stacked lines.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its steep slant and compact shapes suggest motion and impact, making it feel confident, modern, and slightly aggressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, contemporary construction: heavy weight, strong slant, and rounded-rectangular curves that keep forms cohesive and easily repeatable across letters and numbers.
Numerals are robust and compact, matching the uppercase weight and maintaining the same squared-round geometry. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to read as intentionally dynamic, and the spacing in sample text produces a solid, poster-like texture.
