A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and a compact, athletic rhythm. Letterforms are built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes: rounded corners, flattened curves, and chunky terminals that keep counters tight and controlled. Strokes feel largely uniform with only subtle modulation, and the italics are constructed (not cursive), producing crisp angles on diagonals and a forward-leaning stance. The overall silhouette is blocky yet softened, with wide bowls and sturdy stems that hold up in dense settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports identities, event promotion, bold UI headers, posters, and packaging callouts. It also works well for logos and wordmarks where a fast, engineered look is desired, but its dense counters and heavy color make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font projects speed and impact—confident, sporty, and a bit aggressive. Its softened-rectangle geometry adds a contemporary, engineered feel, balancing toughness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a streamlined, speed-forward italic stance. Its superellipse-based construction suggests a goal of combining industrial sturdiness with contemporary softness, creating a display sans that stays legible while feeling dynamic and forceful.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, compact construction, with single-storey lowercase forms and simplified joins that reinforce the utilitarian tone. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, reading bold and poster-ready, with an especially strong horizontal emphasis that amplifies the italic motion.
