A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and uniform, with little visible contrast, and corners are broadly softened rather than sharp. Many forms show cut-in notches and angled terminals that reinforce motion, while counters stay relatively tight and geometric. The overall rhythm is steady and blocky, with a slightly compressed feel in capitals and sturdy, simplified lowercase shapes.
Best suited for short, prominent text where impact matters: sports and fitness identities, event posters, team apparel graphics, bold packaging, and high-energy advertising. It can work for subheads and callouts, but the dense weight and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is energetic and forceful, reading as fast, competitive, and attention-grabbing. Its oblique stance and chunky silhouettes evoke classic athletic branding and motorsport-style graphics, with a punchy, poster-ready attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a sense of speed, using an oblique posture, rounded-rectangular geometry, and angled cuts to create a bold, athletic voice while keeping letterforms simple and highly repeatable.
Diagonal joins and wedge-like cuts appear in several letters, adding texture and preventing the heavy weight from feeling overly static. Numerals match the letterforms’ compact, rounded geometry and maintain strong color at display sizes.
