A compact, slanted sans with heavy, softly squared rounds and a superelliptical construction that keeps curves taut and corners gently eased. Strokes are consistently thick with modest contrast, and terminals tend toward blunt, slightly tapered cuts that reinforce forward motion. The rhythm is tight and verticals feel strong, while counters are rounded-rectangular and fairly closed, giving the face a dense, sturdy color. Lowercase forms are upright in structure but carry the same rightward slant, with single-storey a and g-like simplicity and sturdy, blocky joins throughout.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and identity work where a strong, condensed presence is needed. It works well for sports branding, product packaging, event posters, and signage-style applications, especially when set with generous tracking or at display sizes to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining a vintage display feel with a utilitarian, athletic edge. Its slant and compact build suggest speed and impact, while the rounded-rectangle shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice with a sense of motion, using superelliptical curves and blunt terminals to balance friendliness with impact. It prioritizes a unified, engineered silhouette that reads quickly and holds up in high-contrast, attention-grabbing settings.
Many letters show subtly pinched joins and tight apertures that enhance the compact look; this also makes the design feel more at home at larger sizes where the interior space can breathe. Numerals and capitals match the same blunt, engineered geometry, producing a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
