A heavy, condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and broad, sturdy strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than pure circularity. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, and the overall construction favors vertical, slightly forward-leaning forms with tight internal spaces and strong silhouette clarity at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as sports identities, event graphics, strong editorial headers, packaging callouts, and promotional banners. It will hold up well where space is limited but a dense, energetic voice is needed, especially at display sizes rather than long-form reading.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, with a sporty, no-nonsense attitude. Its forward slant and dense width create a sense of speed and pressure, while the rounded-square geometry keeps the voice contemporary and engineered rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compressed footprint, combining a forward-leaning stance with superelliptical rounding to feel fast, strong, and contemporary. Its geometry suggests an emphasis on consistency and robust shapes that reproduce well in bold, attention-grabbing applications.
Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, producing high ink coverage and a poster-like presence. Numerals and uppercase share the same compact, streamlined rhythm, and the diagonals (e.g., in V, W, X, Y) read as sharp, structural accents against the rounded bowls.
