A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Letterforms are built from blunt, rounded shapes with smooth curves and squared-off terminals, producing a dense, poster-like texture. The slant is consistent across the alphabet, and the overall construction favors simplified geometry and sturdy strokes over delicate detail. Spacing appears deliberately tight, helping the characters read as a unified, bold mass in headlines and short lines.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and logo or wordmark work. It performs particularly well at large sizes and in short phrases where its dense, slanted rhythm can read as energetic rather than crowded.
The tone is loud and confident, with a sporty, throwback feel reminiscent of athletic branding and mid-to-late 20th century display lettering. Its rounded, chunky shapes soften the aggression of the weight, keeping the voice approachable while still strongly assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a cohesive oblique stance, combining sturdy, simplified forms with friendly rounding. It prioritizes bold presence and a dynamic forward-leaning momentum for branding and titling contexts.
Uppercase forms keep a sturdy, compressed interior (notably in C, G, S, and O), while the lowercase maintains clear, single-storey structures and straightforward joins. Numerals are similarly blocky and built for impact, matching the lettering’s broad, slanted rhythm for cohesive titling.
