A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction. Curves are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals tend toward flattened, squared-off cuts, creating a blocky rhythm without sharp contrast. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall texture reads dense and continuous, with sturdy verticals and simplified forms that stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and campaign graphics where bold, fast-looking type is needed. It can work well for sports and action-oriented branding, short promotional copy, and title treatments where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and impact. Its chunky, softened geometry gives it a slightly retro, display-oriented voice—confident and attention-seeking rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, combining a strong slant with softened, superelliptical curves for a modernized athletic look. It prioritizes bold presence and cohesive, simplified letterforms for attention-grabbing display use.
Uppercase and numerals project the strongest presence, while the lowercase maintains the same muscular build and slant for cohesive setting in short lines. The rounded internal shapes and clipped terminals help keep the forms readable at large sizes, but the dense blackness can make long paragraphs feel heavy.
