A heavy, oblique sans with compressed proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes stay uniform and dense, with squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding, creating a superellipse-like skeleton in both straight and curved letters. Counters are tight and compact, and curves (C, O, S) read as squarish ovals rather than true circles. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm is compact with short, firm joins and minimal tapering.
Best suited to high-impact display work where compact width and strong mass help text cut through: sports identities, event posters, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI headings. It can also work for short subheads or labels where a fast, emphatic tone is desirable.
The face conveys speed and impact: assertive, performance-oriented, and slightly mechanical. Its rounded corners soften the aggression just enough to keep it friendly while still feeling bold and driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a space-efficient footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry and a strong oblique slant to suggest motion and modernity while maintaining simple, sturdy forms.
The oblique slant is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines feel dynamic. Numerals follow the same squarish, rounded geometry, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive headline settings.
