A heavy, slanted sans with condensed proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely uniform in weight, with rounded-rectangle curves that give bowls and numerals a smooth, superelliptical feel rather than perfectly circular forms. Terminals are clean and blunt, and many diagonals (in letters like A, K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize a forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and simplified shapes that stay bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short emphatic copy, and branding where strong impact is needed. It works well for sports and activity-driven identities, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and signage where a compact, energetic italic helps text feel in motion.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a forward motion that reads as sporty and promotional. Its compact width and dense blackness create a high-impact, poster-like presence that feels slightly retro—suited to bold statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact footprint while maintaining smooth, rounded forms. The consistent slant and superelliptical shaping suggest a goal of conveying speed and modern punch for display typography.
A noticeable forward slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive “speed” gesture. Counters are kept relatively small, and joins are tight, producing a solid texture in longer lines. Numerals are stout and headline-oriented, matching the rounded, blocky construction of the letters.
