A heavy, right-slanted display face with compact internal counters and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from broad, tapered strokes that create a dynamic rhythm, with rounded joins and subtly softened terminals that keep the dense weight from feeling rigid. Curves (C, G, O, S) are generous and full, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) read sturdy and stable; overall spacing appears tight-to-normal, emphasizing a solid, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, logos, labels, and packaging where impact is the priority. It can also work for sports-oriented branding and bold promotional systems, especially when set with generous line spacing or slightly increased letterspacing.
The tone is energetic and throwback-leaning, evoking classic signage and athletic or promotional typography. Its slant and strong contrast add motion and urgency, while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and motion through a slanted stance, strong modulation, and compact counters, balancing intensity with rounded, approachable detailing for expressive display typography.
In the sample paragraph the dark color and compact counters create a strong “ink” presence, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes or with extra tracking. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, matching the letters’ slanted, tapered construction for consistent color across mixed text.
