A heavy, oblique sans with chunky, compact letterforms and softly squared (superelliptical) curves. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with blunt terminals and tight internal counters that emphasize density. Round letters like O/C/Q read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals in N/V/W/X and the angled cross-stroke in Z create a forward-leaning rhythm. The numerals are similarly robust and compact, with simplified shapes and small apertures that keep the texture dark and consistent.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is needed. It works well for sports branding, event promotion, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a fast, muscular tone. Use generous size and leading to prevent the dense forms from closing up in longer text.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, leaning into a sports-and-action feel. Its slanted posture and compressed, blocky forms convey speed and urgency, while the rounded corners keep it friendly enough to avoid feeling harsh. The result is a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, contemporary display voice with a sense of motion. By combining a strong slant, compact proportions, and rounded-rectangle construction, it prioritizes bold presence and clear branding shapes over delicate detail.
Spacing appears fairly tight in running text, producing a strong, continuous black band at larger sizes. The lowercase maintains a large presence with short ascenders/descenders relative to the x-height, reinforcing a compact, headline-driven texture. Curves and joins are consistently softened, giving the design a cohesive “machined” smoothness across both letters and figures.
