A heavy, tightly set sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact proportions. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: broad, superelliptical bowls, softened corners, and blunt terminals that keep strokes looking solid and continuous. Curves stay smooth and closed, counters are relatively small, and the overall texture is dense and dark with minimal modulation. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with single-storey shapes and short, muscular joins that emphasize a streamlined, engineered feel.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as sports and fitness branding, event posters, team or club identities, and bold packaging. It performs well in short headlines, logos, badges, and apparel graphics where strong silhouette and momentum are desirable, rather than extended body text.
The tone is bold and athletic, with a fast, forward-leaning cadence that reads as assertive and performance-oriented. Its rounded, blocky construction adds a friendly, contemporary softness while still feeling tough and competitive, giving it a sporty retro edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and strength. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a goal of combining industrial sturdiness with approachable softness, creating a distinctive, modern display voice.
At larger sizes the rounded-square construction becomes a defining signature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense color can make long passages feel heavy. The slant and compact widths create a strong sense of motion, especially in all-caps headlines and short phrases.
