A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes stay largely uniform, creating dense, inky silhouettes and a strong, poster-like color on the page. Curves are built from smooth ellipses with softened corners, while joins and terminals feel blunt and sturdy rather than sharp or calligraphic. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact and cohesive, with a slightly compressed, muscular feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, cover lines, branding marks, and packaging where strong impact is desired. It also fits energetic themes like sports, gaming, or event promotion, especially when set large with generous spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is loud, upbeat, and kinetic, with a distinctly sporty, retro-leaning personality. Its big, rounded shapes and forward slant read as confident and attention-seeking, conveying motion and impact rather than refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch with a streamlined, geometric sans construction and a built-in sense of motion from its slant. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive, rounded silhouette for attention-grabbing communication.
In text, the density and small counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes where letter shapes can open up. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and maintain the same assertive presence as the letters, supporting display use where consistency of tone matters.
