A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into broad, squared-off bowls and softened corners rather than fully circular forms, giving counters a superelliptical feel. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt. The overall rhythm is tight and sturdy, with consistent, slightly compressed shapes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is needed. The strong fill and compact shapes work well for sports branding, retail promotions, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is bold and high-impact, with a fast, forward-leaning stance that reads as athletic and promotional. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, but the dense blackness and compact forms still project confidence and urgency.
Designed to deliver a dense, energetic voice by combining heavy weight with an oblique stance and rounded-rectangle geometry. The aim appears to be high visibility and a modern, athletic feel, prioritizing bold presence and quick read in display contexts.
Uppercase characters show simplified, geometric joins and generous internal rounding (notably in B, D, O, P, R), while lowercase keeps a robust, blocky structure with short apertures and sturdy shoulders. Numerals are similarly compact and bold, designed to hold up in headline settings where quick recognition matters.
