A heavy, oblique sans with compact, squared-off counters and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with corners softened into superellipse-like curves that keep forms sturdy rather than sharp. The geometry leans wide and stable in many letters, while overall spacing feels tight and engineered for impact. Numerals and capitals read especially robust, with simplified interior shapes and a slightly condensed, forward-leaning stance that emphasizes momentum.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, poster typography, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and title-card graphics. It can work for brief subheads or labels where strong contrast against the background and immediate recognition are more important than extended reading comfort.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, reading as sporty and no-nonsense. Its slanted posture and dense blackness project speed, urgency, and confidence, while the rounded corners add a controlled, engineered feel rather than aggression.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a fast, forward-leaning feel, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the letterforms cohesive and sturdy. It prioritizes bold silhouette clarity and an athletic, industrial voice for display-forward applications.
Round letters skew toward squarish ovals, giving the face a distinctive “rounded block” silhouette in both text and display sizes. The slant is consistent across cases, and the overall rhythm favors bold, chunky word shapes over delicate detail.
