A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, superelliptical curves. Strokes are thick and uniform, with blunt terminals and softly squared corners that keep counters relatively open despite the mass. The letterforms lean strongly forward and show a slightly irregular rhythm in widths across the set, giving the texture a lively, poster-like cadence. Numerals are similarly chunky and streamlined, with simplified shapes and substantial internal counters.
Best suited for bold headlines, short calls-to-action, and branding that needs motion and immediacy—sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and apparel graphics. It works particularly well when set large, where the rounded geometry and strong slant create a clear, cohesive visual signature.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, projecting speed and confidence. Its forward slant and dense color evoke athletic branding and action-oriented display typography, with a faint vintage headline feel rather than a clinical modernism.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance and rounded, blocky construction. The emphasis appears to be on display performance—strong silhouette, open counters for its weight, and a compact footprint that stacks well in tight headline settings.
The font builds impact through tight spacing potential, large black shapes, and smooth rounding that prevents the weight from feeling sharp or abrasive. At smaller sizes the heavy forms can crowd, while at display sizes the rounded geometry and oblique stance read clearly and emphatically.
