A compact, heavy oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, producing sturdy silhouettes and a dark, continuous texture in lines of text. Counters are small and often rectangular or slit-like, and apertures tend to be tight, emphasizing mass over openness. Terminals are blunt and rounded, and many joins feel engineered and slightly squared, reinforcing the superelliptical, block-italic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact and motion matter—sports branding, event posters, gaming/arcade-inspired graphics, apparel marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for subheads or labels when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as fast and action-oriented. Its chunky forms and softened edges give it a friendly toughness, evoking sporty, arcade, and late-20th-century display styling without feeling decorative or script-like.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, combining a speed-forward oblique stance with rounded-rect geometry for a modern, industrial feel. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and dense color for display use, while keeping shapes consistent and approachable through softened corners.
The oblique angle is strong and consistent, and the compact letterfit encourages a dense, poster-like color. Distinctive, squared counters and ink-trap-like notches in some forms add mechanical character and help keep inner spaces from fully closing at heavy sizes.
