A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared counters. Strokes are thick and steady with subtly tightened joints and occasional notch-like cut-ins that keep dense shapes from clogging. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, producing a compact, punched look; curves tend to resolve into superelliptical forms rather than true circles. The rhythm is assertive and slightly condensed in feel, with narrow apertures and sturdy internal counters that stay readable at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, product marks, and bold packaging. It can work for subheads or short bursts of copy where a dense, energetic texture is desirable, but the tight apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, evoking speed, impact, and competitive energy. Its rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, adding a controlled, engineered character that reads as sporty and retro-modern at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold italic voice with a streamlined, engineered geometry—favoring rounded-rectangular forms, compact counters, and a strong forward motion for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward angular, sign-like silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps similarly blocky proportions, creating a consistent, uniform texture in lines of text. Numerals match the same squared-round geometry, supporting a cohesive headline system.
