A heavy, slanted sans with compact, rounded silhouettes and strongly filled-in counters. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, with minimal contrast and generous curves that keep corners soft rather than sharp. The overall rhythm feels forward-leaning and dynamic, with wide, weighty bowls (notably in o/e/p) and stout terminals; the lowercase shows a tall, dominant x-height that keeps words looking dense and bold. Numerals and capitals follow the same chunky, oval-driven construction, producing a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best used for bold headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where its dense color and forward slant can carry attention. It fits sports and action-oriented branding, energetic packaging, and display typography for event titles, calls to action, and short statements. For longer passages, larger sizes and looser tracking help maintain clarity.
The tone is loud and kinetic, with a sporty, headline-forward attitude. Its slant and mass give it a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded forms add an approachable, slightly playful warmth. The overall feel leans retro-advertising and team-graphics rather than corporate or delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-moving stance and rounded, friendly geometry. It prioritizes presence and momentum over fine detail, aiming for a strong, contemporary display voice with retro-leaning, athletic cues.
At text sizes the weight and tight internal spaces can cause letters to visually merge, especially where counters are small and joins are thick; it reads best with ample size and breathing room. The slant is pronounced enough to create strong directional emphasis, making it well-suited for short phrases and impact lines.
