A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and a squared, superelliptical construction. Strokes are broad and fairly even, with rounded-rectangle counters and softened outer corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp despite the weight. The italic slant is strong and consistent, creating a forward rhythm; terminals tend to be cleanly cut and slightly rounded rather than tapered. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey shapes where applicable and tight apertures that emphasize a solid, block-like texture in text.
Best suited to high-impact display uses such as sports branding, event posters, product packaging, and punchy headlines where the bold oblique stance can carry the message. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a strong, compact presence is desired, but the dense forms suggest keeping longer passages to larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with a clear “forward motion” typical of athletic and action-oriented branding. Its weight and slant read as assertive and energetic, while the rounded geometry adds a controlled, engineered feel rather than a playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, speed-driven sans with a compact footprint and a distinctive squared-round geometry. It prioritizes impact and forward momentum, aiming for a contemporary, athletic voice that stays clean and controlled rather than decorative.
The numerals and caps lean into a squared-round geometry that stays consistent across the set, producing a uniform, logo-friendly silhouette. In running text, the dense letterforms create strong color and impact, especially at larger sizes where the rounded corners and counters are more apparent.
