A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a strong, continuous stroke. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are noticeably softened, curves are squarish, and counters tend to be tight, producing a dense, high-ink texture. Terminals are predominantly blunt and cut cleanly, and the rhythm is punchy and uniform, with slightly condensed letterfit and sturdy verticals. Numerals and capitals match the same squared-round construction, keeping a consistent, engineered silhouette across the set.
Best suited to display applications where impact and speed cues are desirable: sports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, bold packaging, and short-form signage. It can work for subheads or callouts in editorial and digital layouts when spacing is opened up to preserve readability.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a competitive, high-energy voice. Its slant and compact mass read as athletic and urgent, while the rounded-square shapes add a modern, engineered feel rather than a friendly softness. The result suggests motion, confidence, and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a compact footprint while projecting motion through its slant. The rounded-rectilinear construction suggests a deliberate, industrial precision aimed at branding and promotional typography rather than long reading.
In longer lines the weight and tight internal spaces create a dark typographic color, so it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing. The squared bowls and rounded corners maintain clarity at display sizes, while smaller sizes may feel compact due to the tight apertures and dense texture.
