A heavy, slanted sans with compressed proportions and a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes are thick and uniform, with rounded corners and softened terminals that keep the shapes friendly despite the weight. Counters are compact and often slightly teardrop-like, and several lowercase forms show a subtle diagonal “bite” or notch that reinforces the italic motion. Overall spacing is tight and dense, producing a solid, poster-like texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports-themed branding, event graphics, and product packaging. It can also work for bold logotypes or social graphics where a compact, energetic texture is desirable, but it’s less suited to long reading or small-size UI text due to the dense interiors and strong slant.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its bold obliqueness and chunky silhouettes evoke retro athletic graphics and attention-grabbing display lettering, reading as confident and a bit playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in a compact footprint while projecting speed and momentum through its pronounced slant and chunky, rounded construction. Its simplified, stylized counters and consistent stroke weight suggest a display-first approach aimed at branding and promotional typography.
Capitals skew wide in presence despite the compressed width, with simplified internal structures that prioritize impact over nuance. Numerals are similarly stout and stylized, matching the rounded, compressed construction for consistent color across mixed text. The strong slant and tight counters make it best at larger sizes where the distinctive notches and inner shapes remain clear.
