A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded structures and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with clean joins and a smooth, geometric curve logic that keeps bowls and rounds looking full. Terminals are blunt and decisive, and many letters show subtle wedge-like cuts and angled shoulders that reinforce forward motion. Spacing is compact in text, creating a dense, unified texture with strong horizontal momentum.
Best suited to large-scale applications where weight and slant can carry the message—headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks that need immediate presence. It also performs well on packaging and apparel-style designs where a compact, energetic typographic voice is desirable, but may feel overly forceful for long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, display-driven attitude. Its chunky forms and strong slant avoid delicacy in favor of speed and impact, giving it a slightly retro, headline-ready feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance, combining rounded geometry with blunt, block-like mass for strong legibility at display sizes.
Uppercase forms read especially solid and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same muscular build with simplified, sturdy shapes. Numerals are bold and compact, matching the letterforms closely and keeping a consistent color across mixed text.
