A heavy, right-leaning sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangular (superellipse) curves. Strokes are thick and consistent with clean, unbracketed terminals, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Curves are broadly squared-off rather than circular, giving letters and numerals a blocky, engineered feel. Joins and inner corners show subtle cut-ins that read like small ink-trap notches, helping shapes stay crisp at display sizes. The overall rhythm is tight and forward-tilted, with sturdy capitals and a tall, legible lowercase that maintains strong texture in bold settings.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as sports identities, event graphics, bold posters, product packaging, and short-form headlines where strong presence and fast readability are needed. It also works well for labels and callouts that benefit from a condensed, forward-moving texture.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, action-oriented slant that suggests speed and impact. Its dense black presence and squared curves convey strength and confidence, making it feel contemporary and performance-driven rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern silhouette: a bold italic sans that reads quickly, looks powerful at large sizes, and maintains clarity through squared-off curves and controlled internal shaping.
Numerals are wide and weighty with the same rounded-rect geometry, producing strong signage-like silhouettes. The italic construction feels built-in (not simply obliqued), maintaining consistent stroke behavior and stable counters across the set.
