A compact, slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly drawn proportions. Curves are built from rounded, squarish forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce forward motion. The overall rhythm is dense and energetic, with sturdy joins and simplified details that keep letterforms bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold packaging callouts. The condensed, slanted silhouette also works well for sports-related graphics, team identifiers, and directional or promotional signage where a strong sense of motion is desirable.
The tone is fast, assertive, and slightly retro, evoking sports graphics, racing numerals, and bold headline typography. Its rounded-rectangle construction adds a utilitarian, engineered flavor while the italic slant injects urgency and momentum. The result feels confident and attention-seeking without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modernized retro feel. Its simplified, sturdy letterforms prioritize immediacy and recognizability in high-contrast, high-energy layouts.
Capitals read especially solid due to their compact width and large interior shapes, while the numerals share the same chunky, forward-leaning stance. The design’s consistent stroke weight and rounded corners help unify the set and maintain clarity in quick, high-impact reading situations.
