A heavy, wide display sans with compact inner counters and crisp, squared-off terminals. The letterforms are built from broad strokes with noticeable modulation: joins and curves swell into thick bowls while some horizontals and transitions thin slightly, giving the shapes a carved, high-impact rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric with rounded corners (notably in C, G, O, Q), while lowercase stays robust and simple with a two-storey g, a single-storey a, and short, thick-shouldered r. Numerals are similarly chunky and open, designed to hold their silhouette at large sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its width and weight can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work well for packaging and signage that needs quick recognition from a distance, especially when set with ample tracking and clear contrast against the background.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a retro athletic and promotional feel. Its wide stance and dense black shapes read as energetic and attention-grabbing, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that prioritizes strong silhouettes and immediate readability at size. Its wide proportions and controlled contrast suggest a goal of combining billboard-level punch with a slightly vintage, sporty character.
Spacing appears generous and stable in the grid, supporting the font’s wide proportions without looking cramped. The stroke modulation is subtle but visible in curves and junctions, adding texture and preventing the heavy weight from turning flat or monotonous.
