A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and softly rounded corners. Strokes show clear modulation, with thick verticals and tapered joins that create a cut, aerodynamic feel rather than uniform monoline construction. Counters are relatively tight and openings are controlled, producing dense word shapes; terminals often finish with subtly squared, slightly curved ends that read as engineered and sturdy. The lowercase is large and prominent, with single-storey a and g and simple, sturdy forms that keep the texture bold and continuous in text.
Well suited to sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and any headline or poster work that needs impact and motion. It also works effectively for short bursts of text—taglines, callouts, and editorial display—where the dense, slanted texture can be used as a deliberate, energetic voice.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, performance-oriented slant and a confident, poster-like presence. Its compact, chunky shapes and softened edges add a retro athletic flavor while staying clean and modern enough for contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, combining an italicized, speed-driven stance with robust, high-ink forms. Its controlled rounding and stroke modulation suggest a focus on creating a bold, athletic display sans that remains clean and legible at large sizes.
The numerals match the letterforms’ compact rhythm and heavy texture, maintaining strong presence at display sizes. The slant and contrast together create a sense of motion, so tight tracking can feel intense, while a bit of extra spacing helps clarity in longer lines.
