A compact, heavy oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are dense and uniform, with softened corners and slightly squared curves that give letters a superelliptical, industrial feel. The overall proportions are condensed, with short extenders and compact apertures; spacing feels tight and efficient, producing a solid, continuous texture in text. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded geometry, reading bold and billboard-ready.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact wordmark is needed. It works well for sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold editorial subheads, especially when space is limited but strong emphasis is required.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and impact. Its compact massing and rounded block shapes evoke athletic graphics and retro display typography, balancing toughness with friendly curves.
Likely designed as an attention-grabbing oblique display sans that maximizes impact in a condensed footprint. The rounded-rectangle skeleton and uniform weight prioritize bold signage-style readability and a cohesive, modern-retro personality.
Round dots on i/j and the simplified, sturdy joins contribute to strong small-to-medium display clarity, while the narrow forms and tight openings can make long passages feel dense. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing motion and cohesion in headlines.
