A heavy, compressed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact internal counters. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction showing in the bowl and counter shapes, plus softened corners that keep the mass from feeling brittle. Curves are broad and controlled, terminals tend toward blunt cuts, and spacing is tuned for dense, billboard-like word shapes. The lowercase follows a simple, single-storey approach where applicable, maintaining a consistent, sturdy rhythm alongside sturdy, similarly slanted figures.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact and density matter: headlines, posters, promotional graphics, sports branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for compact titling or sidebars when you need strong emphasis without taking much horizontal space.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, leaning into a fast, competitive feel. Its condensed, forward-leaning posture reads as assertive and action-oriented, with a contemporary, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in tight widths, combining a forward slant with rounded-rectangle forms to stay modern and cohesive. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition over delicate detail, making it a pragmatic choice for attention-driven typography.
At larger sizes the tight apertures and small counters create strong silhouette recognition, while the uniform stroke and rounded geometry help keep letters cohesive in long lines. The numerals match the same forward-leaning, compact build, supporting a consistent typographic voice in scorelines or stats.
