A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes show clear contrast: verticals and main stems read stout while curves and joins taper, creating a slightly sculpted, inked look. Curves are generously rounded and terminals are mostly blunt, with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and a that heighten the dense, punchy texture. The lowercase is sturdy with a single-storey a and g, a firm, flat-shouldered n/m, and a short, strong t; punctuation and figures appear built for headline presence with bold, simplified forms.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, sports and event graphics, and bold packaging typography. It can work for subheads at larger sizes where its contrast and tight counters remain clear, but it is less appropriate for long passages of small body text.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a retro advertising and athletic signage feel. Its dense color and wide stance convey authority and urgency, while the softened curves keep it approachable rather than purely industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a wide, compact-counter silhouette and sculpted contrast that reads strongly at a distance. It prioritizes bold brand presence and energetic messaging over neutrality or extended reading comfort.
In text, the weight and tight counters create strong word shapes but reduce airiness, especially in combinations with many rounds. The figure set appears designed to match the letterforms’ mass, maintaining consistent visual weight across numerals.
