A heavy, forward-leaning sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) bowls. Strokes are thick and consistent, with subtly softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp despite the mass. Curves are broad and squared-off, counters are relatively tight, and terminals tend to end cleanly with minimal fuss, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. The slant is pronounced and uniform, giving the alphabet a strong rightward motion, while overall spacing reads slightly tight to maintain density and impact.
Best used where bold, slanted emphasis is desirable: posters, display headlines, sports and fitness graphics, high-energy branding, and packaging that needs immediate shelf impact. It also works for short subheads or callouts in editorial and digital layouts when a strong directional voice is needed, but its density suggests keeping body text brief and generously spaced.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, competitive feel driven by the steep slant and dense black color. Rounded corners add a controlled, contemporary friendliness, but the overall impression remains tough and performance-oriented rather than playful. It suggests speed, strength, and confidence—well suited to messaging that needs to feel urgent or bold.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed and momentum, combining superelliptical roundness with a compact, heavy build. It prioritizes clarity at display sizes and a cohesive, modern texture across letters and numerals.
Round letters (like O, C, G) feel squarer than geometric circles, reinforcing a technical, machined character. Diagonals and joins stay clean and sturdy at bold sizes, and the figures match the letters’ compact, high-impact posture for consistent typographic color across mixed copy.
