A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact interior spaces. Strokes are uniformly thick with gentle curvature and softened corners, producing a dense, blocky silhouette that stays smooth rather than angular. Counters are relatively small, terminals read as cleanly cut, and the overall rhythm is tight and weight-forward, keeping letters visually stable even with the pronounced slant.
Best suited to display settings where maximum impact is needed: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for short, emphatic lines where the dense weight and slant can be used to suggest motion and urgency.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, headline-driven feel. Its slanted momentum and wide stance convey speed and confidence, while the rounded shaping adds approachability and a slightly retro, display-oriented flavor.
The design appears intended as a high-energy display sans that prioritizes bold presence and forward motion. Its combination of broad forms, tight counters, and a consistent slant suggests an emphasis on attention-grabbing branding and promotional typography rather than extended text reading.
The numeral set matches the letterforms’ weight and slant, with bold, rounded shapes and compact counters. The sample text shows strong word-image cohesion at large sizes, where the dense black shapes create a cohesive, poster-like texture.
