A heavy, right-slanted sans with pronounced stroke modulation and broad, rounded forms. Curves are generous and slightly squashed, with softened corners and wedge-like joins that create a lively, inked rhythm. Terminals often finish in angled, sheared cuts, giving letters a forward-leaning, aerodynamic feel. Counters are compact but still open enough to keep shapes recognizable, and numerals follow the same bold, rounded, strongly tilted construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for logos or wordmarks where a dynamic, forward-leaning stance is desired. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing to avoid a overly dense page color.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a distinctly sporty, display-forward personality. Its slant and weight create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than severe. The look nods to vintage sign and athletic branding aesthetics without becoming ornate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch with a sense of motion—combining a robust weight with an emphatic slant and visible stroke modulation to stand out in display typography. Rounded construction and softened corners suggest an intention to remain approachable while still projecting strength and speed.
The strong slant and dense color mean spacing and joins become a key part of the style: letters knit together visually, producing a dark, continuous stripe in longer lines. The design favors impact over small-size neutrality, and its angled terminals add noticeable directional cues even in short words.
