A compact, heavy display face with a largely sans structure but softened, subtly bracketed terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Vertical stems read thick and steady, while joins and curves narrow noticeably, creating a lively rhythm and slightly engraved/inked feel. Counters are relatively small and rounded, and apertures tend to be tight, which reinforces a dense, poster-like color. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified (single-storey a and g), with a short-armed r, a hooked j descender, and a bulbous, high-contrast t; numerals follow the same chunky, tapered logic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It also works well on packaging and sports or event graphics, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the contrast and tight counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and assertive with a retro, sports-poster energy. Its rounded shaping and softened terminals keep it approachable, while the contrast adds drama and a bit of vintage print character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while adding personality through tapered joins, rounded forms, and subtly bracketed terminals. The goal reads as a contemporary display sans with vintage print flavor and strong memorability.
In text, the strong internal contrast and tight counters make the texture vivid and slightly “pulsing,” especially in words with many curves (o, e, s). The uppercase has a compact, emblem-like presence that holds together well in short lines, while longer paragraphs become visually dense and benefit from generous tracking and leading.
