A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded, inflated bowls and tightly curved joins that create a compact, muscular rhythm. Stroke endings are generally clean and blunt, with subtle tapering in places that keeps counters open despite the dense color. Uppercase forms read broad and sturdy, while lowercase shapes are simplified and bold, with a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and a robust, upright ‘l’ that leans with the rest of the design. Numerals follow the same swollen, high-ink look, producing strong, attention-grabbing silhouettes in a line of text.
Best suited to large sizes where its weight and slant can carry impact—headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits sports and event branding, packaging fronts, and promotional graphics where a compact, energetic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that feels sporty and promotional. Its thick, rounded forms evoke a retro display sensibility while still reading as contemporary and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a smooth, rounded sans structure and a consistent forward slant, prioritizing bold readability and momentum in display settings.
Spacing appears tuned for display: letters sit close enough to create a continuous black texture, yet key counters (like in O, P, R, and e) remain clear. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, giving headlines a unified, fast-moving feel.
