A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are broad and fairly uniform, with softly chamfered terminals and occasional notched cuts that add a chiseled, action-like texture. Curves lean toward superelliptical bowls, while joins and corners stay sturdy and slightly angular, producing a tight rhythm and a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Numerals and caps maintain the same blocky, forward-leaning stance for a consistent, high-impact line of text.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where impact matters—such as sports branding, event posters, promotional graphics, packaging, and bold logotypes. It can work in brief display text on screen or in print, especially when generous tracking and line spacing are available.
The overall tone is energetic and sporty, with a playful, retro edge. Its forward slant and carved details suggest motion and emphasis, making it feel loud, competitive, and attention-seeking rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that communicates speed and toughness while keeping forms approachable through rounded geometry. The notched cuts and compact massing emphasize boldness and movement, aiming for immediate recognizability in branding and headline contexts.
The cut-in shapes and asymmetric detailing create a distinctive texture at larger sizes, but can visually crowd counters in smaller settings. Letterforms remain stable and weighty, favoring punch and momentum over delicacy.
