A heavy, compact sans with a forward slant and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are thick and consistent, with rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals are generally blunt and squared off, and the overall silhouette feels tall and condensed, producing a strong vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals are especially dense and poster-like, while lowercase maintains simple, sturdy constructions with minimal detailing.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding. It also fits sports and automotive-style graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional layouts where short phrases need to read quickly and assertively.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, with a punchy, “in-motion” feel driven by the slant and compressed width. Its rounded, blocky forms add a friendly edge to an otherwise tough, utilitarian voice, landing in a space that reads sporty, bold, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded, industrial shapes for a modern athletic display feel. The slant reinforces a sense of speed and emphasis, making it geared toward attention-first typography rather than long-form reading.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, helping lines set as solid dark bands at display sizes. The superelliptical rounding shows up most clearly in bowls and corners, giving the design a cohesive, engineered look rather than a geometric-perfect circle feel.
