A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in the bowls and counters. Strokes are broadly uniform with modest contrast, and terminals are blunt and cut on the slant, giving the outlines a wedge-like, forward-leaning cadence. Round letters (O, C, G) read as squarish superellipses, while diagonals in A, V, W, X are wide and sturdy, reinforcing a strong, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is tall and dense, with tight apertures and counters that stay open enough for display sizing; several joins and notches suggest subtle ink-trap-like shaping to keep interior spaces from clogging at heavy weight.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and campaign-style typography where strong presence and speed are desirable. Its dense rhythm and heavy fills also fit sports branding, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and logo explorations that need a compact, high-impact wordmark.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a clear sense of motion from the consistent italic angle and hard, sporty terminals. It feels like a modern take on classic athletic and editorial display lettering—bold, attention-grabbing, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to combine geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with a bold italic stance for maximum visual momentum. The compact widths, sturdy diagonals, and simplified counters suggest a focus on display clarity and brand-forward strength in short text runs.
Numerals are chunky and highly legible, with simple, geometric forms and emphatic curves. Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, creating a solid text color in lines of copy; this density works best when given generous tracking or used at larger sizes.
