This typeface is a heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Forms are built from large, rounded bowls and stout stems, with small apertures and a consistently thick, even stroke that reads as solid black at text sizes. Many terminals are blunt or softly rounded, and several joins and diagonals show angular cuts that add snap and forward motion. The overall rhythm is tight and dense, with low counter space and a strong, blocky silhouette that keeps letterforms distinct even when set close.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, event promotions, and brand marks where a strong, energetic presence is needed. It can also work well on packaging and social graphics, especially when the design calls for a bold, kinetic, slightly retro feel rather than extended reading.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a fast, slanted posture that feels sporty and energetic. Its chunky curves and compact counters lend a playful, slightly retro display character—more about impact and momentum than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance, using compact counters, rounded bowls, and sharp cut-ins to create motion and immediacy. It prioritizes bold signage-like clarity and a distinctive, sporty display texture.
Uppercase shapes stay geometric and sturdy, while lowercase introduces friendly single-storey constructions and simplified details that emphasize weight and speed. Numerals match the same compact, cut-in style, giving the set a cohesive, poster-ready voice.
