A slanted, compact sans with thick strokes and crisp, wedge-like terminals that give many letters a subtly cut or chiseled finish. Forms lean forward with a lively rhythm, mixing rounded bowls with angular joins and occasional sharp diagonals, creating an intentionally uneven, hand-cut feel while staying broadly consistent. Counters are generally small and apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words; the numerals follow the same forward-leaning, sporty construction.
Best suited to display settings where impact and motion matter, such as posters, event graphics, sports-themed branding, packaging callouts, and short headline lines. It can also work for bold logotypes or wordmarks where a condensed, fast-leaning silhouette is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and extroverted, with a retro athletic flavor and a slightly comic, poster-like punch. Its forward motion and sharp terminals suggest speed and emphasis, making it feel informal, attention-grabbing, and upbeat rather than neutral or text-oriented.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a strong, forward-driving voice with a distinctive terminal treatment, prioritizing visual punch and personality over quiet readability. The goal seems to be a compact, sporty display sans that feels dynamic in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
The design shows noticeable stroke-direction cues and terminal shaping that read well at larger sizes, but the compact spacing and tight counters can build darkness quickly in long lines. Curves and diagonals alternate in a way that adds momentum, giving headlines a bouncy, animated cadence.
