A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Letterforms are built from rounded, squarish curves with smoothly bulging strokes and brisk, angled terminals that reinforce forward motion. The rhythm is dense and dark, with tight apertures in characters like C, S, and e, and sturdy bowls in B, P, R, and 8 that keep the texture consistent. Numerals follow the same muscular, rounded construction, reading clearly while maintaining the same compressed counters and strong slant.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where a strong, fast-leaning voice is helpful. It performs especially well in large sizes and high-contrast layouts where its dense texture and compact counters remain legible.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a punchy, action-oriented feel. Its slanted stance and chunky mass suggest speed and impact, giving it a sporty, promotional voice with a slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, athletic stance, pairing rounded construction with sharp, angled cuts to read as fast and forceful. It prioritizes bold display clarity and a cohesive, energetic texture across letters and numerals.
The combination of wide set and heavy weight creates strong headline presence, but the small apertures and tight counters make it visually dense at smaller sizes. The angled terminals and curved joins keep it from feeling rigid, balancing blockiness with roundness for a smooth, high-energy silhouette.
