A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with rounded joins and corners that soften the otherwise blocky geometry. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. The uppercase is wide-shouldered and sturdy, while the lowercase follows the same squared, streamlined logic with a simple single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’, and short, sturdy terminals throughout. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and compactness, producing an even, forceful rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited for bold headlines, sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, and packaging where quick recognition and strong presence matter. It can also work for short bursts of supporting text (labels, calls-to-action, signage) when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a slanted stance that reads fast and competitive. Its dense black shapes and compact spacing feel loud and utilitarian, suggesting speed, power, and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, combining an oblique stance with rounded-rectangle geometry for a fast, modern, high-energy look.
The oblique angle and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the rounded corners and superelliptical curves become more apparent. The design maintains consistent weight and a unified, squared silhouette across letters and figures, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
