A heavy, oblique sans with a squared, superelliptical construction and generous corner rounding. Strokes are largely uniform, producing a dense, punchy texture, while interiors are small and rectangular with softened corners. Many joins and terminals are cut with angled or notched forms, creating a subtly segmented, almost stencil-like rhythm. Counters stay open enough for display use, and the overall silhouette leans forward with compact spacing and sturdy proportions.
Best suited to bold headlines where the forward slant and dense shapes can deliver impact—sports identities, team or event graphics, posters, and punchy packaging. It also works well for short UI banners, titles, and badges where a strong, directional voice is desired, but it may feel heavy for long-running body text.
The face projects speed and impact, combining athletic signage energy with a tough, engineered feel. Its rounded-rectangle geometry keeps it friendly enough to avoid harshness, while the slanted stance and notched details add urgency and motion. The overall tone reads confident, competitive, and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual momentum and presence through a rounded-rectangular skeleton, uniform stroke weight, and angled cut-ins that suggest speed and precision. It aims for immediate recognizability at large sizes while keeping a consistent, modular system across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms are wide-shouldered and stable, with squared bowls and clipped corners that emphasize a technical, modular look. Lowercase echoes the same geometry and maintains a strong baseline presence, with dots and small features rendered as compact rounded rectangles. Numerals follow the same blocky logic for consistent texture in headline settings.
