A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Shapes lean on rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and apertures feel squarish-soft rather than purely circular, and corners are consistently eased. Strokes are thick with subtle modulation, producing sturdy silhouettes and short, blunt terminals. The overall rhythm is tight and dense, with simplified joins and sturdy diagonals that keep forms readable at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short display settings where its mass and slant can deliver maximum impact. It works well for sports and entertainment branding, promotional posters, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark-style treatments. In longer text, the dense color and tight counters suggest using generous size and spacing for clarity.
The font projects speed and strength, combining a sporty, poster-like punch with a slightly retro, display-driven attitude. Its chunky, forward-leaning forms feel confident and promotional, suited to messages that need to look bold and in motion rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-energy display voice built from softened, superelliptical shapes. It prioritizes immediate recognition and punch—especially in uppercase—while maintaining consistent rounding and sturdy structure for cohesive branding across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms are especially compact and uniform in weight, while lowercase shows similarly heavy construction with simplified details and small counters. Numerals match the same squat, muscular feel, with rounded-rectangular interiors and a strong, graphic presence. The slant and wide stance together create a “pushed forward” effect that increases visual momentum.
