A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded corners and a compact, slightly condensed feel. Strokes are thick and energetic, with subtle contrast and frequent wedge-like terminals that create sharp, slanted cutoffs. Counters are relatively tight and the curves are smooth and inflated, giving letters a robust, poster-ready silhouette. The rhythm is assertive and fast, with consistent rightward slant across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where impact and motion matter: sports identities, event posters, product packaging, apparel graphics, and bold editorial headlines. It can also work for prominent callouts, labels, and titling where legibility at smaller sizes is less critical than presence.
The overall tone feels sporty and high-energy, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of athletic branding and mid-century advertising. Its bold, slanted forms suggest speed and impact, projecting confidence and motion even in short words and numerals.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, muscular display voice: an oblique, heavyweight sans that prioritizes punchy silhouettes, compact spacing, and a cohesive, brandable look across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms read as compact and blocky, while the lowercase stays stout with a notably small x-height and strong emphasis on rounded bowls. Numerals are heavy and attention-grabbing, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive use in headlines and score-like settings.
