A very heavy, slanted sans with compact, rounded construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are broad and even, with tight internal counters and sturdy terminals that read as cut or sheared by the italic angle. Round letters like O/C/G and the numerals lean into a superelliptical feel—more rounded-rectangle than circle—while diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) are thick and stable, giving the design a dense, muscular texture. Lowercase forms are large and robust, with simple, utilitarian shapes and minimal contrast between stems and bowls.
Best suited to large, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports or event branding, posters, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI accents where the slant and weight can carry energy. It is likely to be less effective for long-form reading or small text due to its dense counters and strong emphasis.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a strong athletic and promotional character. The slant and massing create a sense of motion and impact, projecting confidence and urgency rather than refinement or restraint.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, combining rounded superelliptical forms with an italic forward lean for speed and momentum. The letterforms prioritize bold presence and immediate recognizability in display contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, helping the font build a solid headline block, while the heavy weight and closed apertures can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The numerals match the letterforms in heft and curvature, keeping a consistent, poster-ready rhythm across mixed text.
