A heavy, slanted display sans with broad proportions and soft, squared-off curves that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with large internal counters and blunt terminals that keep the silhouettes compact and powerful. Many letters show angled cuts and subtly sheared joins, creating a forward-leaning rhythm and a sense of motion. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase remains robust and simplified, with clear dots on i/j and single-storey a and g-like construction consistent with a contemporary grotesque display approach. Numerals match the letterforms with blocky geometry and generous rounding, maintaining an even color in text.
Best suited for sports identities, event promos, and headline systems that need immediate impact. It also works well for apparel graphics, gaming/esports styling, and bold packaging where compact, high-contrast silhouettes must read quickly from a distance. In longer text, it’s most effective for short bursts such as callouts, labels, and UI banners rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone feels fast, punchy, and competitive—suited to high-impact messaging where momentum and strength are desirable. Its slant and carved details suggest speed and performance, while the rounded-rect geometry adds a modern, engineered feel with a slight retro athletic flavor.
Likely designed to deliver a high-energy, modern display voice by combining broad, rounded-rect construction with an aggressive forward slant and angular detailing. The goal appears to be strong presence and quick recognition in branding and promotional typography, especially in contexts that benefit from a sense of speed and power.
Tight, chunky shapes and heavy ink coverage make the font excel at large sizes, but they also reduce fine-detail differentiation in dense paragraphs. The distinctive angled notches and squared curves give headings a strong graphic signature and help maintain clarity on darker backgrounds.
