A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and broad, low-modulation strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters a soft, inflated feel while terminals stay blunt and clean. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with slightly varied character widths and sturdy bowls that keep forms open enough for display use. Numerals match the letterforms with dense, rounded geometry and a forward-leaning stance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where impact and speed matter—especially sports, event promotion, and energetic retail messaging. It can also work for short bursts on packaging or signage, where its dense shapes and slant help words pop at larger sizes.
The font reads fast and forceful, with a sporty, no-nonsense tone and a hint of retro headline energy. Its forward slant and packed shapes add motion and urgency, making it feel bold, promotional, and attention-seeking.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while maintaining rounded, modern geometry. The superelliptical curves and blunt terminals suggest an intention to feel contemporary and engineered, while the strong slant adds motion for emphatic display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show squared-off curves and generous mass, while diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s kinetic, engineered feel. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey approach where applicable, reinforcing an approachable, poster-oriented personality.
