A heavy, right-slanted design with compact, sturdy letterforms and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and rounded, while joins show small triangular notches and subtle ink-trap-like cut-ins that add bite to counters and terminals. The lowercase has a single-storey a and g, a round i/j dot, and slightly varied widths that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Numerals are robust and curvy, with a distinctive open, angled 4 and an 8 built from two strongly contrasted bowls.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or performance-oriented graphics. It can work for brief bursts of text, but its dense weight and strong slant are most effective when used for emphasis rather than long reading.
The overall tone is energetic and emphatic, combining athletic urgency with a slightly retro, display-forward flavor. Its slant and sharp cut-ins give it motion and attitude, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
Likely designed to deliver bold, fast-moving emphasis with a distinctive sculpted detailing at joins and terminals. The combination of rounded forms, strong slant, and notch-like cut-ins suggests a focus on standout display typography that remains legible while feeling active and contemporary.
Uppercase proportions feel a bit condensed compared with the broader lowercase, and several letters (notably curved ones like S, C, and G) show a consistent sculpted terminal treatment that reads well at larger sizes. The texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, with strong diagonal flow from the italic angle.
