A compact, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with tight apertures and small counters that create a dense, punchy color. Terminals are predominantly rounded, and several joins and interiors show subtle corner relief that reads like small ink-trap-like notches at display sizes. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined; lowercase maintains a short, efficient profile with a single-storey a and g and an overall forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded, condensed logic, with a distinct slashed zero.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—posters, brand marks, packaging, and sports or fitness-oriented graphics. It can work for subheads and UI labels when sized generously, but the tight counters and apertures make it less ideal for long reading or very small text.
The overall tone is energetic and modern with a clear retro-sport undercurrent. Its forward slant and compact forms suggest speed and motion, while the rounded geometry keeps the personality approachable rather than severe. The dense silhouette gives it a confident, poster-ready attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, space-efficient display sans that combines rounded-rect geometry with an integrated oblique stance for motion and emphasis. Its consistent weight and compact shapes prioritize strong silhouette and punchy presence in contemporary branding contexts.
The texture stays very even across the alphabet, and the italic construction feels integral rather than a simple slant. Tight openings in letters like a, e, s, and c increase impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The slashed zero improves character differentiation in code-like or technical settings.
