A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact, rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters and broad, forward-leaning silhouettes. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with subtly softened corners that keep the forms blunt rather than sharp. Apertures tend to be tight and bowls are squared-off, producing dense internal space and strong color on the line. The rhythm is energetic and slightly compressed within each glyph, with sturdy diagonals and a consistent, mechanical construction across letters and figures.
Best suited to display contexts where immediacy and strength are desirable—sports branding, event posters, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, and bold UI banners. It can work for short subheads or emphatic pull quotes, but for longer text it benefits from larger sizes and more spacing.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, reading as athletic and attention-grabbing. Its slant and chunky massing convey motion and urgency, while the rounded squareness keeps it contemporary and industrial rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, motion-forward voice using an italicized stance and superelliptical geometry that stays clean and contemporary. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition over delicate detailing.
Numerals share the same compact, superelliptical logic and maintain strong presence at display sizes. In the sample text, the dense counters and heavy stroke weight make long passages feel forceful; increased tracking and generous leading help maintain clarity.
