A compact, heavily slanted sans with block-like, superellipse-inflected outlines and rounded corners. Strokes are broadly uniform, producing dense, dark letterforms with tight counters and a strong, forward-leaning rhythm. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S feel squared-off rather than circular, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and abrupt, emphasizing a punchy, condensed texture. Numerals are similarly stout and simplified, designed to hold shape at display sizes with minimal internal detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, event posters, sports and team-related branding, and packaging callouts where strong presence is required. It can work for subheads and banners, but its dense forms and tight counters make it less ideal for extended body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, suggesting motion and urgency through its pronounced slant and compressed proportions. Its bold, compact silhouettes read as sporty and promotional, with a slightly industrial confidence.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while still feeling modern and friendly through rounded, superellipse-based geometry. The consistent slant and simplified interior shapes appear intended to communicate speed and emphasis in display typography.
The design favors closed apertures and thick joins, which increases visual mass and makes spacing feel tight in longer text. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping it maintain a cohesive, poster-like cadence.
