A heavy, right-leaning sans with compact, superellipse-like bowls and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and assertive with mostly uniform weight, and the forms favor squared-off geometry over circular construction, creating tight interior counters and sturdy silhouettes. Terminals tend to be blunt or slightly angled, and many joins and curves are softened into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving a cohesive, engineered look. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact extenders, keeping word shapes dense and bold; numerals and capitals match the same chunky, forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and promotional typography where maximum impact and forward motion are desired. It works well for sports branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold social media or thumbnail text, especially when set in short, high-contrast messages.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, competitive slant that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its dense black texture and squared-rounded forms suggest strength and momentum, leaning toward contemporary display attitudes rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that combines rounded-rectangle construction with dense weight to create immediate presence and a sense of speed. Its consistent, softened geometry suggests a goal of staying modern and controlled while still delivering a loud, punchy voice.
At smaller sizes the narrow apertures and tight counters can fill in visually, so it benefits from generous sizing and spacing. The italic angle and heavy mass create strong directional emphasis, making it especially effective for short lines and punchy phrasing.
