A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick with crisp, planar terminals and occasional sharp internal cut-ins that create a slightly “carved” look in counters and joins. Curves are generously rounded but not soft; the geometry feels tightened by squared-off edges, giving letters a compact, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase shows sturdy bowls and a single-story a and g, with wide set widths and a consistent forward-leaning stance across letters and figures.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and punchy campaign graphics where a strong forward motion is desirable. It also fits sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from wide, rounded geometry and a condensed-in-counter, high-ink presence.
The overall tone is energetic and extroverted, combining a sporty, poster-like impact with a retro display attitude. Its slant and chunky forms suggest speed and confidence, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and slightly playful.
Likely designed as a display sans that prioritizes impact, speed, and a cohesive oblique rhythm. The rounded-rectangular forms and sharpened interior cut-ins appear intended to keep the shapes lively and distinctive even in very heavy strokes.
The face reads best at larger sizes where the interior notches and tight counters remain clear; at small sizes the dense black shapes may close up. Numerals are similarly weighty and oblique, matching the headline-forward, high-impact character of the alphabet.
