A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off bowls and softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay largely uniform, with sturdy joins and short terminals that keep silhouettes dense and block-like. The overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with numerals and capitals designed to read as solid, simplified shapes at a glance.
Best suited to display typography where bold, slanted forms need to grab attention—sports and fitness identities, energetic campaigns, posters, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable.
The tone is fast and forceful, with a confident, competitive feel. Its chunky superelliptical curves and strong slant suggest motion and impact, lending a contemporary, athletic voice to headlines and branding.
Likely intended as a high-impact display sans that combines rounded-rectangle construction with a strong forward slant for a sense of speed and strength. The simplified, uniform strokes and broad letterforms prioritize immediate recognition and brand presence over long-form reading.
Round letters such as O/Q show squarish, superellipse-like outlines, while diagonals in A/V/W/X are thick and stable, reinforcing a rugged texture. The lowercase stays compact and sturdy, and the figures match the same weight and stance for consistent emphasis across mixed text.
