A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are rounded and sturdy, while joins and terminals are cut with angled, slightly wedge-like finishes that reinforce the forward motion. The overall color is dense and even, with a consistent stroke presence and minimal modulation. Spacing reads tight and energetic, and the numerals and capitals share the same broad, emphatic stance.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where strong presence and motion are desirable, such as sports branding, promotional posters, bold packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but the dense counters and tight rhythm make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The font communicates speed and assertiveness, with a distinctly athletic, poster-like punch. Its slanted, muscular shapes feel energetic and competitive, leaning toward a retro display tone rather than a quiet, neutral voice.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning attitude, combining rounded sans foundations with angled cuts to create a streamlined, high-energy texture for display typography.
Several glyphs show deliberate, angular cuts (notably in diagonals and cross strokes) that create a chiseled, streamlined texture across words. Round letters remain full and stable, but apertures and counters stay relatively small, which amplifies impact at larger sizes.
