A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact, aerodynamic letterforms and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with softened corners and subtly squared curves that give counters a superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and sheared to match the italic angle, producing a tight, continuous rhythm. The numerals and caps read sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase keeps generous internal space for legibility at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact and motion are desirable—sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and bold UI or signage moments. It can also work for subheads and callouts when set with adequate tracking and line spacing to keep dense shapes from crowding.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-oriented, evoking speed graphics and high-impact headlines. Its slant and dense black shapes communicate urgency and confidence, with a contemporary, engineered feel rather than a casual or humanist one.
Likely designed to deliver a high-energy, display-forward sans that combines rounded-rectangle geometry with aggressive slant for a sense of speed. The forms prioritize strong silhouette, consistent angle, and compact rhythm for branding and headline settings.
Many glyphs show slight notch-like openings and tightened joins that help prevent dark clumping in dense areas, especially noticeable in diagonals and bowls. The italic angle is consistent across the set, and the spacing appears tuned for punchy word shapes rather than long-form reading.
