A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and strongly rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, creating a solid silhouette with minimal modulation, while counters stay relatively tight in letters like O, B, and P. Terminals are blunt and clean, with rounded joins that keep the texture smooth even at extreme weight. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing forward motion without distorting legibility, and the overall rhythm reads bold and compact with slightly squared-off round forms.
Best used in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports or fitness branding where bold texture and motion are desirable. It also suits packaging and attention-grabbing signage, particularly at medium to large sizes where its tight counters and dense strokes remain clear.
The font conveys speed and impact, with a sporty, headline-forward attitude. Its combination of extreme weight and forward slant feels assertive and promotional, suited to messages that need to land quickly and loudly. The rounded geometry softens the aggression just enough to keep it approachable while still feeling powerful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact, rounded-geometric voice, pairing an athletic oblique stance with solid, no-nonsense letterforms. It prioritizes immediacy and presence over delicate detail, aiming for strong readability and a cohesive, energetic texture in display typography.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey construction (notably the a and g) that reinforces a contemporary, sign-like clarity. Numerals are similarly chunky and upright in construction despite the oblique stance, maintaining a consistent, high-visibility color in text blocks.
