A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are blunt-ended and consistent in mass, with softened corners and occasional notch-like cut-ins at joins that read like subtle ink-trap detailing. Counters run compact and slightly squarish, while diagonals and terminals keep a crisp, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, prioritizing solid silhouettes and quick recognition at display sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display applications such as sports identities, energetic advertising headlines, event posters, esports and automotive graphics, and bold packaging. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and wayfinding-style callouts where a strong, compact voice is needed. For long text, its dense counters and heavy color suggest using generous tracking and larger sizes.
The font projects speed and power, with a distinctly sporty, headline-driven tone. Its rounded geometry keeps the aggressiveness friendly and modern, landing somewhere between athletic branding and retro-futuristic tech. The oblique slant adds urgency and motion, making words feel propelled forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of motion: a sturdy, geometric sans optimized for fast, bold messaging. Rounded-rectangle forms and tight apertures suggest a focus on contemporary branding while preserving a slightly retro, machine-made character.
Uppercase forms stay compact and muscular, while lowercase maintains a functional, signage-like simplicity with single-storey shapes where expected. Numerals are similarly blocky and confident, built to read as bold identifiers in short strings. The design’s visual interest comes from its superelliptical curves, tight apertures, and small strategic cut-ins rather than from contrast or ornament.
