A compact, slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly drawn proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel, while corners and terminals stay softly rounded rather than sharp. The rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, with short apertures and sturdy joins that keep forms dark and solid in display sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same blocky, engineered construction, emphasizing tall, compressed silhouettes and minimal interior space.
Best suited to bold headlines, sports and fitness branding, team marks, event posters, and energetic packaging where dense, forward motion is desirable. It also works well for short logotypes and badges that need a compact footprint. For longer passages or small UI sizes, the tight apertures and heavy color may be less comfortable.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian, suggesting motion and impact. It reads like a performance-driven style—confident and loud—while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh or aggressive. The look also nods to retro athletic and motorsport graphics, where compressed, slanted lettering signals speed.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed, slanted display style, combining engineered geometry with softened corners for a modernized athletic/industrial voice. The consistent stroke weight and superelliptical rounding aim for strong reproduction across large-format applications and high-contrast layouts.
Letterforms favor simplified, geometric shaping over calligraphic nuance, producing consistent color and strong signage presence. The oblique angle is pronounced, and the condensed proportions make spacing feel tight, which heightens urgency but can reduce clarity in small text.
