A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced oblique slant and tightly controlled proportions. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) counters and softened corners that keep the forms sturdy rather than sharp. Apertures are generally on the closed side and spacing is economical, producing a dense, energetic texture in lines of text. The lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably the “a”) and sturdy, slightly squared bowls (e.g., “e,” “p,” “q”), while numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-corner logic for a consistent, muscular color.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as sports branding, event posters, promotional headlines, and bold packaging or label typography. It can also work for UI or wayfinding accents when used sparingly at larger sizes, where the condensed, slanted forms remain clear.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-oriented, combining a sports-poster punch with a utilitarian, industrial directness. Its rounded geometry adds a modern, engineered feel, while the strong slant injects motion and urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction and a strong oblique stance to communicate speed and strength. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive, engineered shape language over delicate detail.
The oblique angle is assertive and consistent, creating a forward-driving rhythm that reads especially strong in short phrases. The combination of tight width and heavy strokes makes it most comfortable at larger sizes where counters and joins have room to breathe.
