A heavy oblique sans with pronounced stroke modulation and a compact, forward-driving rhythm. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with tight interior counters, rounded transitions, and wedge-like terminals that keep edges crisp without true serifs. Curves are full and weighty (notably in C, O, S), while diagonals and joins add a slightly angular snap, producing a strong, poster-ready texture. Numerals follow the same compact, high-impact construction, with bold bowls and sturdy stems that hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, and promotional messaging where dense color and motion are desirable. It can also work for bold brand wordmarks, sports-related graphics, and packaging callouts that need immediate shelf or screen presence.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-forward feel. Its slanted stance and dense black shapes read as dynamic and promotional, leaning toward retro advertising and team-mark energy rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with an oblique, contemporary-retro voice, pairing a sans skeleton with deliberate contrast and wedge terminals to create speed and emphasis in display typography.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive forward slant. Counters stay relatively small for the weight, which increases impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes; the font looks most comfortable when given generous size and line spacing.
