A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact, condensed proportions and tightly packed counters. Curves and joins are softened into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and apertures a smooth, machined feel. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtly rounded corners, and the overall rhythm is steady and blocky, emphasizing mass and momentum. Numerals and capitals read sturdy and uniform, with minimal modulation and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports or fitness branding, event posters, promotional graphics, and bold editorial headlines. It can also work for packaging callouts and UI/advertising banners where quick recognition and a sense of motion are desirable; for long passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, action-oriented voice that suggests speed and impact. Its rounded geometry keeps the aggression controlled, leaning more toward contemporary utility than retro scriptiness.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-energy sans that reads fast and loud while staying clean and contemporary. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests an aim for a modern, engineered aesthetic that feels both tough and approachable.
The narrow width and strong slant make verticals feel compressed and driven, creating a poster-like presence. In the sample text, the dense color and tight internal space prioritize impact over delicate detail, especially in longer lines.
