A compact, forward-leaning sans with heavy, tightly packed letterforms and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Strokes are uniform and weighty, with minimal modulation and sturdy joints, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, while terminals appear blunt and clean rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is punchy and compressed, with an oblique slant that adds momentum without introducing calligraphic contrast.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display roles such as sports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, and bold packaging where compact width helps fit more characters per line. It also works well for labels, wayfinding callouts, and numeric displays when strong emphasis is desired.
The font reads as energetic and assertive, with a strong sense of motion from the slant and a no-nonsense solidity from the thick, compact shapes. Its rounded geometry softens the aggression slightly, keeping the tone contemporary and approachable while still feeling powerful and competitive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed footprint, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded, block-like forms to signal speed, strength, and modern utility in branding and display typography.
At text sizes the density and tight apertures can make long passages feel heavy, but the consistent geometry keeps word shapes stable and bold. Numerals match the same compact, athletic stance, supporting scoreboards and numeric-heavy headings.
