A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact counters and broad, rounded bowls. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly irregular, carved feel, with small notches and cut-ins appearing at joins and terminals. Letterforms are wide and assertive, with simplified geometry and softened corners; the lowercase has a tall x-height and sturdy, blocky silhouettes. Spacing appears tight-to-normal for such a dark design, producing dense word shapes and strong headline texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where immediate impact is the goal. It can work well for sports-themed graphics, energetic promotions, packaging, and logo wordmarks, especially when set large and with generous line spacing to avoid overly dense blocks of text.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, with a vintage display energy that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its chunky forms and slanted stance create a sense of speed and showmanship, leaning toward playful, poster-like communication rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that combines a forward-leaning stance with rounded, muscular forms and sharpened cut-ins for extra character. It prioritizes bold presence and expressive texture over long-form readability.
Several characters show distinctive interior cutouts and stepped terminals that add visual bite and help differentiate shapes at large sizes. Numerals follow the same bold, rounded construction, keeping a consistent, high-impact rhythm across mixed text.
