A compact, heavily slanted sans with dense proportions and robust, rounded-rect geometry. Strokes are thick and confident with smooth joins, rounded counters, and a consistent forward lean that creates strong directional rhythm. Curves read as soft superellipse forms rather than perfect circles, while diagonals and terminals are trimmed cleanly for a tight, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the numerals are sturdy and condensed, maintaining the same italic momentum and compact spacing.
Well suited for high-impact headlines, posters, and campaign messaging where speed and emphasis are desired. It also fits sports-related branding, product packaging, and bold promotional graphics, especially when a compact footprint and strong forward motion help maximize presence in limited space.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and headline-driven, combining a sporty energy with a slightly retro display attitude. Its strong slant and weight suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint while projecting motion through a strong italic slant. Rounded-rect construction and simplified forms aim for clarity and consistency in display settings, prioritizing bold rhythm and brandable silhouettes over quiet readability.
At text sizes the bold mass and narrow set create a dark, continuous texture; it performs best with generous tracking or in short lines. The italic angle is pronounced enough to dominate layout, making it especially noticeable in mixed typography systems.
