A heavy, right-slanted sans with wide-set proportions and rounded, inflated-looking bowls. Strokes are thick with slightly tapered joins and smooth curves that keep the forms cohesive at display sizes. Counters are relatively compact, giving letters a dense, poster-ready texture, while the overall rhythm stays even and legible despite the aggressive weight. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, forward-leaning construction for a consistent, headline-focused palette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, team or club graphics, posters, large headlines, and bold packaging. It can work for punchy subheads or callouts, but the dense counters and heavy texture make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The face reads energetic and assertive, with a fast, athletic feel created by the strong slant and thick, rounded forms. Its presence is loud and promotional rather than subtle, leaning toward a vintage sports/advertising tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning stance and rounded, muscular shapes—prioritizing immediacy, motion, and strong silhouette recognition in display typography.
Round letters (O, C, G) emphasize broad curves and tight interior space, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) feel sturdy and engineered for impact. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel where applicable, supporting quick recognition in short bursts of text.
