A heavy, right-leaning display serif with compact counters and a soft, rounded stroke finish. The letterforms are broad and tightly built, with widened terminals that flare subtly rather than ending in blunt slabs. Curves are thick and smooth, joins are sturdy, and interior spaces are relatively small, creating a dense black silhouette. The overall rhythm is dynamic due to the consistent oblique slant and slightly streamlined, forward-leaning proportions.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports and event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for wordmarks and badges where a forward-leaning, retro-energetic presence is desired, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The font reads fast and assertive, with a distinctly energetic, sporty tone. Its chunky shapes and italic momentum evoke retro signage and team branding, balancing friendliness from rounded corners with impact from the dense weight.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of speed and momentum, using an oblique stance, compact counters, and flared stroke endings to create a bold, cohesive silhouette for display-led typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially compact and logo-like, while the lowercase maintains a similar stout, rounded construction with closed-in bowls and short extenders. Numerals match the same bold, swollen geometry, staying highly prominent at a glance.
