A heavy, slanted display face built from compact, superelliptical shapes with rounded corners and squared-off curves. Strokes are robust and fairly even, with crisp terminals and frequent angled cuts that sharpen the silhouette. Counters stay open but relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and punchy, with slightly compressed proportions that emphasize verticality. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, sculpted construction, producing a unified, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact matters: sports identities, event posters, bold advertising headlines, and packaging callouts. It can also work for wordmarks and badges where the forward slant and rounded-rect geometry can become a recognizable brand cue. For extended reading, it benefits from larger sizes and increased spacing to avoid a heavy, compact color.
The tone is assertive and fast-moving, evoking sports branding and retro headline typography. Its slant and dense black shapes read as bold and competitive, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it communicates urgency, strength, and a classic poster-like punch.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual impact through dense strokes, a pronounced forward slant, and rounded-rect construction that stays consistent across the set. The angled cuts and compact counters suggest an intention to convey speed and strength while keeping the overall feel clean and contemporary.
The design favors strong silhouettes over fine detail, with distinctive angled joins and terminals that add motion and help separate letterforms at larger sizes. In longer samples it forms a dark, continuous band of text, so it performs best when given breathing room through generous tracking or line spacing.
