A chunky, oblique sans with heavy, compact shapes and subtly modulated stroke weight. Letterforms lean forward with crisp, angular cuts and wedge-like terminals that create a lively, kinetic rhythm. Curves are full and rounded, while counters stay relatively tight, giving the type a dense, high-ink presence. Uppercase forms read sturdy and poster-ready; lowercase keeps a single-storey feel in key letters with rounded bowls and short extenders, maintaining a cohesive, emphatic texture across words and numbers.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where impact matters: headlines, poster titles, promotional graphics, sports and team-style branding, and energetic packaging. It can also work for logos and social media graphics where a bold, motion-forward voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fun, slightly retro display flavor. Its forward slant and muscular weight suggest motion and enthusiasm, making it feel confident, attention-grabbing, and a bit cheeky rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning attitude, balancing rounded mass with sharp, cut terminals for a modernized retro display feel. Its compact counters and consistent heft prioritize visibility and personality over quiet readability.
The font’s oblique stance and strong diagonals show up clearly in letters like A, K, N, V, W, X, and Z, while rounded forms like O, C, and S stay bold and compact. Numerals match the same dense, forward-leaning construction, designed to hold up as bold markers in headlines and signage.
