A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded bowls and smoothly curved terminals paired with crisp, straight-sided stems. The letterforms feel slightly compressed vertically by their mass, with a tall, prominent lowercase that keeps counters open despite the weight. Curves are built from near-circular geometry (notably in O/C/G/e), while diagonals and joins (K/V/W/X) stay sharp and decisive, producing a strong, punchy rhythm. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, with clear interior counters and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It also works well for promotional editorial callouts and social graphics, especially at larger sizes where the dense texture and rounded geometry can be appreciated.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, leaning into a sporty, forward-moving feel. Its bold slant and chunky forms read as upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a hint of retro display styling that adds personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, energetic silhouette—combining sturdy, rounded construction with a consistent slant to suggest motion. It prioritizes bold readability and branding punch over quiet, long-form neutrality.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact in text, creating dense, headline-ready color. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, and the design maintains legibility by preserving generous apertures and counters where possible at this weight.
