A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness with rounded curves and clean terminals, producing a compact, high-impact silhouette. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with sturdy bowls and short, efficient joins that keep the rhythm dense and steady. Numerals and uppercase forms read as solid, poster-like shapes, while the lowercase maintains similar weight and width for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to large-size applications where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports-oriented branding. It can work for short bursts of text such as labels, calls to action, and signage, where the compact counters and strong slant help keep attention.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, “in-motion” feel. Its chunky construction and steady slant give it a sporty, promotional voice that can also lean slightly retro depending on color and layout. The impression is bold and straightforward rather than delicate or technical.
This design appears intended as a high-impact, oblique sans for display typography, prioritizing strong presence and a sense of motion. Its rounded, uniform stroke construction suggests a goal of clear, modern shapes that remain bold and legible in promotional settings.
In longer lines the dense weight and tight internal spaces create a strong dark color, favoring emphasis over airiness. The italic angle and wide stance make it especially noticeable in headlines, where its blocky curves and consistent stroke weight stay clear and impactful.
