A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Forms are built from sturdy, rounded-rectangular geometry with clean joins and minimal detailing, keeping the silhouette bold and continuous. Stroke endings are largely straight and blunt, and the curves on letters like C, G, O, and S read as smooth, slightly squared arcs rather than perfectly circular bowls. Spacing is tight and the overall texture is dense, creating a strong, poster-like rhythm across lines of text.
This font performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work for subheads or emphatic pull quotes when ample size and breathing room are available to prevent the dense texture from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is fast, loud, and confident, with a clear athletic and retro display flavor. Its forward lean and dense color convey motion and urgency, while the simplified shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive. The result feels suited to branding that wants impact and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a simplified, sturdy sans structure and a consistent forward slant. Its broad, compact shapes and tight counters prioritize punchy readability at large sizes while projecting speed and confidence.
The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a steady diagonal flow in longer passages. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and blunt terminals, and the set maintains an even, high-ink presence that favors display sizes over delicate typography.
