A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, compact counters and sturdy joins. Curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, and many terminals end in crisp, angled cuts that reinforce a forward-leaning, aerodynamic feel. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall rhythm is punchy, with simplified, blocky silhouettes that stay legible at display sizes.
This font is best used where strong presence and speed cues are desired: sports identities, team or event graphics, high-impact headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks. It can also work well on apparel and product graphics where thick strokes and rounded geometry help maintain clarity at a distance.
The tone is fast and forceful, leaning into a sporty, action-oriented voice. Its oblique stance and chunky forms give it a sense of momentum and confidence, suited to messaging that needs to feel bold, direct, and high-impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern sans for display settings, using rounded-rectangle curves and angled cuts to convey motion and toughness. It prioritizes visual impact and a cohesive, athletic rhythm over delicate detail.
The uppercase set appears especially geometric and compact, while the lowercase keeps the same muscular build with small apertures and sturdy bowls. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, maintaining a consistent, performance-driven texture across mixed text.
