A compact, heavily weighted sans with a pronounced rightward slant and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with softened corners and tight internal apertures that create dense, ink-trap–free silhouettes. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, and joins are blunt and sturdy, giving the forms a compressed, aerodynamic feel. Numerals and capitals share the same squat, forward-leaning rhythm, producing a cohesive, blocky texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports and fitness identities, title cards, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for signage or wayfinding where a compact, forceful voice is desired, especially at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and attention-grabbing, with a sporty, poster-like swagger. Its slant and compact heft suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it friendly enough for mainstream branding. The feel lands in a retro display zone—confident, loud, and built for impact.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded geometry for a sense of speed and approachability. The design prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent, simplified structure to remain legible and recognizable in bold display applications.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the counters are small, which boosts presence at large sizes but can darken quickly in longer passages. The lowercase has a utilitarian, single-storey simplicity in key shapes, reinforcing a straightforward, muscular voice.
