A compact, heavy sans with a consistent rightward slant and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and tight interior counters that keep forms dense and high-impact. Curves read as superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, and joins are blunt and sturdy, producing a solid, slightly compressed texture. The overall rhythm is brisk and forward-leaning, with short ascenders/descenders and efficient letterspacing that suits bold headline settings.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and promotional graphics where density and impact matter. It can also work for emphatic UI labels or navigation at larger sizes, but its weight and tight internal spaces make it less ideal for long body copy.
The tone is forceful and fast, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its chunky, slanted silhouettes suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it friendly enough for mainstream branding. The overall impression leans retro-athletic—confident, loud, and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a condensed, slanted silhouette, combining sturdy geometric shapes with rounded corners for a modernized retro display look. The emphasis appears to be on speed, boldness, and instant readability in branding and headline contexts.
Capitals are broad-shouldered and simplified for impact, and the figures are stout and billboard-like, staying legible through their large counters and clear silhouettes. The slant is pronounced but stable, helping long lines feel dynamic without becoming calligraphic.
