A heavy, slanted sans with compact, rounded interiors and a distinctly forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with soft curves on bowls and terminals that read more rounded than sharp. Counters are small relative to the overall mass, and many forms feel slightly squashed and dynamic, creating a punchy rhythm in text. The numerals and capitals maintain the same dense color and robust silhouettes, staying legible through simplified, chunky shapes.
Well-suited to display applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports or action-oriented branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short bursts of text such as banners and titles, especially when spacing is adjusted to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, suggesting speed and impact. Its chunky, rounded construction and strong slant give it a lively, slightly retro athletic feel that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-driving, italicized momentum while keeping forms friendly through rounded construction. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent heavy texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
In continuous text, the strong slant and dense weight create a prominent texture with tight-looking internal space, so it reads best when given comfortable tracking and line spacing. Rounded joins and simplified details help keep the letterforms clear at display sizes, while the heaviest areas can visually merge at smaller sizes.
