A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and consistent, with softened corners and squarish bowls that keep curves tight and controlled. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be more closed, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The italic slant is pronounced and steady across letters, and the large x-height keeps lowercase forms prominent; terminals are mostly blunt with occasional wedge-like cuts that emphasize speed and direction.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, and hero statements where the mass and slant can do the work. It’s a strong fit for sports branding, energetic campaigns, packaging, and large-format signage, and it can also serve for emphatic UI labels when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, aerodynamic feel. Its dense weight and strong slant read as competitive and promotional, leaning toward a sporty, attention-grabbing voice rather than a quiet editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-industrial shape language and a clear sense of motion. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition, using compact counters and a strong oblique stance to project speed and confidence.
Uppercase forms feel especially blocky and planted, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple, single-storey shapes and strong internal rhythm. Numerals match the same compact, rounded geometry, supporting punchy callouts and large-scale set pieces.
