A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and a tight, forward-leaning stance. Forms are built from robust strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and curves a softened, superelliptical feel rather than perfect circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while joins stay clean and dense, producing a solid texture in words. Capitals read as broad-shouldered and compact, and the figures are similarly chunky with simplified, high-impact shapes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display typography where strong emphasis is needed. It works well for sports branding, promotional posters, packaging callouts, and impactful signage, particularly when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a slanted posture that suggests speed and urgency. Its dense black presence feels confident and promotional, leaning toward sporty and industrial messaging rather than delicate or literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining a bold, slanted silhouette with softened superelliptical curves for a modern, streamlined voice.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create strong horizontal momentum, but the density can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs. The rounded corners keep the mass from feeling harsh, helping it stay friendly enough for contemporary branding despite its punchy color.
