A condensed, right-leaning sans with heavy, rounded strokes and minimal contrast. Letterforms show a slightly irregular, brushlike modulation at terminals, giving edges a lively, hand-cut feel rather than a rigid geometric finish. Counters are compact and apertures are moderately open, keeping the shapes readable despite the tight widths. Overall rhythm is quick and upright in texture, with consistent slant and sturdy vertical emphasis across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact settings where its condensed width and energetic slant can amplify momentum—posters, sports and action branding, packaging callouts, and bold logo lockups. It can also work for emphatic subheads, but its strong personality is more effective in display sizes than in long text blocks.
The font reads as fast, spirited, and informal, with a strong retro sports and poster energy. Its slanted stance and punchy weight convey motion and enthusiasm, while the subtly imperfect terminals add a friendly, human touch.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-energy display voice: a slanted, condensed sans built for impact, with softened, brushlike terminals to keep it expressive and approachable rather than strictly mechanical.
Uppercase forms are assertive and compact, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, sans structure with a lively, slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals match the same condensed, forward-leaning construction, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive and dynamic.
