A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with softened corners and subtle ink-trap-like notches where joins tighten (notably in diagonals and counters). Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and numerals a squarish, sturdy feel. The lowercase is built for impact with sturdy stems and relatively closed apertures, while spacing feels tight and headline-oriented, emphasizing a dense, rhythmic texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and promotional typography where a dense, forceful voice is needed. It also fits sports and fitness branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from rounded toughness and forward motion. For extended text, it will read most comfortably at large sizes where the tight apertures and heavy color can breathe.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its chunky, rounded geometry adds a friendly edge, while the compressed, high-impact silhouettes keep it bold and attention-grabbing. The result feels modern-sporty with a subtle retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, contemporary stance, using rounded-rectangle forms and softened corners to keep the weight approachable. Small cut-ins at joins help preserve clarity and prevent dark spots, supporting bold display use while maintaining recognizable letterforms.
Diagonal terminals and angled cuts contribute to the sense of motion, especially in letters like A, K, V, W, and Y. Numerals are robust and highly legible at large sizes, with counters that stay open enough to hold up in heavy display settings.
