A compact, slanted sans with heavy, continuous strokes and tightly enclosed counters. Forms lean forward with a strong rightward shear, producing a fast rhythm and a compressed silhouette. Curves are broadly rounded and sturdy, while joins and terminals tend toward blunt, slightly angled cuts that keep the texture lively. The overall color is dense and even, with subtle modulation that helps counters stay open at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and prominent labeling. It can work well in sports or action-themed branding, packaging callouts, and logo-style wordmarks where dense color and forward motion are desirable. For longer passages, its heavy texture and tight proportions may reduce comfort, so it performs strongest at larger sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a clear sense of motion and urgency. Its forward-leaning stance and dense black shapes evoke sports branding, vintage poster lettering, and action-oriented headlines. The result feels bold, confident, and attention-seeking rather than neutral or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width while conveying speed through a pronounced slant. It favors simple, sturdy constructions and blunt terminals to maintain strong legibility and a consistent, poster-like presence.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, compact construction, with single-storey, simplified lowercase shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy. Numerals match the same weight and slant, maintaining a cohesive blocky texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
