A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and chunky, rounded shapes. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense, dark silhouettes, while counters are relatively tight and often more oval than circular. Curves are full and smooth, terminals read as blunted rather than sharp, and several joins feel slightly wedge-like, adding a subtle engineered rhythm. The overall texture is compact and forceful, with strong horizontals and sturdy bowls that keep forms stable even at large sizes.
This font is well suited to attention-grabbing applications such as headlines, posters, promotional graphics, sports-related branding, and logo wordmarks where a strong, slanted silhouette helps convey speed and emphasis. It also works for short bursts of copy on packaging or social graphics when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a distinctly retro display flavor that suggests motion and impact. Its slant and mass give it a confident, sporty attitude, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly and approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight and slant while maintaining approachable, rounded forms. It aims for a contemporary take on retro athletic display lettering, prioritizing punchy presence and clear shapes in large-format use.
In the sample text, the tight apertures and dense color create strong headline presence but can begin to crowd at smaller sizes or in long passages. Numerals follow the same stout, rounded logic and read best when given adequate tracking and line spacing.
