A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear with broad, squared terminals that read cleanly at display sizes, and counters tend to be compact, giving the letters a dense, muscular texture. Curved glyphs (C, O, S) feel superelliptical rather than purely circular, while joins and interior corners show subtle notches and pinch points that resemble small ink-trap style reliefs. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with consistent, sturdy forms across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and esports identities, event promotions, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for numbers-forward applications like scores, signage, or price/feature bursts where a strong, kinetic tone is desired.
The font projects speed and impact, combining a contemporary athletic feel with a slightly retro, arcade-like punch. Its bold presence and forward slant suggest motion, competition, and confidence, making it feel loud and attention-grabbing without relying on ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and motion through a forward oblique stance, dense counters, and rounded-rect geometry. The small corner reliefs and compact apertures likely aim to preserve clarity and texture in large, heavy lettering while keeping a streamlined, modern silhouette.
Uppercase shapes stay broad and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey approach (notably in a and g) that reinforces the utilitarian, sporty tone. Numerals are equally weighty and share the same squared, rounded-corner logic, supporting a cohesive voice in alphanumeric-heavy settings.
