A compact, slanted sans with heavy, block-like strokes and rounded-rectangle shaping throughout. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, with softened corners and squared-off counters that keep forms tight and efficient. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning with a steady, engineered consistency across letters and figures. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase maintains a similarly compressed structure with sturdy bowls and short extenders.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports identities, event posters, attention-grabbing headlines, and bold packaging. It can also work for gaming or interface elements where a condensed, high-energy voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys speed and pressure—confident, competitive, and built for impact. Its forward slant and dense forms create an energetic, no-nonsense tone that feels at home in performance-driven and tech-adjacent contexts. The rounded corners temper the aggression slightly, keeping the look contemporary rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting motion and strength. Its rounded-rectangle geometry suggests a deliberate, industrial modernism aimed at bold display typography rather than quiet reading text.
The design favors compact apertures and tight internal space, which increases punch at display sizes and can reduce clarity in smaller settings. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner logic, producing a cohesive, utilitarian texture in mixed alphanumeric lines.
