A compact, slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly controlled interior counters. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softened corners and broad, flat terminals that keep the silhouettes blocky and dense. The overall rhythm is steady and forward-leaning, with relatively small apertures and minimal stroke modulation, producing strong, high-impact word shapes in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where strong impact and tight horizontal economy are desirable, such as posters, sports branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or wayfinding when set large, but its dense counters and narrow proportions favor larger sizes over long reading.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, promotional feel driven by the steep slant and packed, muscular forms. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly enough for contemporary branding, while the density and momentum read as bold, competitive, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch in limited width, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectilinear construction for a modern, athletic display voice. Consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes suggest an emphasis on clarity, sturdiness, and repeatable geometric rhythm across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms stay compact with squared-off curves, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, utilitarian texture and a straightforward single-story construction where applicable. Numerals match the same condensed, rounded-rectangle language, giving headings and short lines a cohesive, poster-like presence.
