A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, compact counters and a distinctly forward-leaning silhouette. Letterforms are built from broad, simplified shapes with softly curved shoulders and terminals, giving the face a smooth, inflated feel despite its mass. Strokes read as solid and uniform overall, while angled cuts and notches—especially on diagonals and joins—add sharp rhythm and help differentiate forms. Spacing appears tight and the texture is dense, producing strong, poster-like color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where impact and motion are desired—such as sports identities, event promotions, posters, and bold packaging. It can work for large-format wayfinding or merch graphics where the dense, slanted forms remain clear. For longer copy, it’s most effective in brief bursts with ample spacing and hierarchy.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, attention-grabbing presence. Its slant and chunky geometry suggest motion and impact, leaning toward a retro display attitude while still feeling clean and contemporary. The dense weight and compact counters convey confidence and urgency.
The design intent appears to be a high-impact, motion-forward display sans that combines rounded, friendly curves with decisive angular cuts. Its construction prioritizes bold presence and fast recognition, aiming for a distinctive graphic voice in branding and promotional typography.
Round letters (like O/C/G) maintain near-elliptical bowls, while many straight-sided glyphs introduce small angular incisions that create a distinctive, cut-in styling. Numerals follow the same chunky, oblique construction and remain highly graphic, favoring bold shapes over delicate interior detail. In paragraphs, the face produces a strong, continuous stripe, so it benefits from generous leading and careful tracking when used at smaller sizes.
