A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact, tightly set rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform with rounded corners and generous curves, giving counters a smooth, open feel despite the weight. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, while joins show subtle notches and cut-ins that read like functional ink-trap details, especially where diagonals meet verticals. The overall silhouette is sturdy and geometric, with wide bowls, sturdy diagonals, and a consistently forward-leaning stance across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form copy where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It works well for branding systems that need a sense of speed and strength—sports, workwear, or industrial-themed packaging—especially in large sizes and high-contrast layouts.
The font projects a bold, energetic tone that feels athletic and industrial at the same time. Its slanted, blocky forms suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result is a retro-leaning, display-forward voice suited to impactful, attention-seeking typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, motion-oriented stance, while maintaining clean, rounded geometry for clarity. The small cut-ins at joins suggest an intention to keep forms from clogging and to preserve crisp internal shapes in heavy settings.
Figures are sturdy and highly graphic, with a distinctive slashed zero and simplified, poster-like construction that stays consistent with the rest of the set. The sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion at larger sizes, where the oblique angle and dense color create a unified, emphatic line of type.
