A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and terminals a smooth, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Strokes stay largely uniform, with crisp joins and a tight, efficient rhythm that keeps letters dense and punchy even in wide shapes. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height and short extenders, and the numerals follow the same wide, rounded-block construction for a consistent color across mixed text.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as sports identities, event graphics, bold editorial headlines, and promotional posters. It also works well for packaging and large-format signage where strong silhouettes and a condensed counter structure help maintain presence at distance.
The overall tone is forceful and fast, with a sporty, performance-driven attitude. The combination of strong weight, slant, and rounded-square curves reads as contemporary and industrial, projecting confidence and momentum.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, contemporary voice: wide, powerful forms paired with a built-in slant for motion, and rounded-rectangle construction to keep the tone modern and approachable rather than sharp or technical.
Counters in letters like a, e, o, and 8 remain relatively small for the weight, which increases impact and makes the silhouette the primary identifier. The slant and broad set create an expansive headline presence, while the rounded geometry softens the aggressiveness and keeps the texture cohesive.
