A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded outer contours and tightly packed counters that create a dense, compact texture. Strokes are broad and confident, with subtly modulated curves and occasional sharp, wedge-like joins that add snap to the silhouettes. Forms lean toward geometric construction—bowls and O-like shapes read as smooth ellipses—while terminals are mostly blunt and clean, keeping the overall feel modern and punchy. The lowercase is notably tall and sturdy, with simple single-storey shapes where applicable and a strong, continuous forward momentum across words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, and attention-grabbing branding. Its dense weight and slanted rhythm also work well for packaging or promotional copy where a sense of speed and urgency is desirable; for longer text, it is most effective in larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a distinctly sporty, poster-forward attitude. Its bold slant and chunky shapes suggest motion and impact, leaning into a retro-leaning display flavor that feels playful but forceful rather than delicate.
The design appears intended as a bold display italic that prioritizes motion, immediacy, and strong silhouette recognition. It aims to deliver a compact, powerful voice with smooth rounded geometry, optimized for punchy statements rather than quiet reading.
Wide, open round glyphs (like O/0/8/9) contrast with more compact, angular letters (like M/N/W/V), producing a rhythmic mix of solid blocks and smooth curves. The numerals share the same forward-leaning, thick-set construction, making them visually consistent for emphasis-heavy uses.
