A heavy, slanted sans with compact counters, broad proportions, and rounded geometry that’s been slightly squared off at joints. Strokes are uniform and dense, with crisp terminals and occasional angled cuts that add snap to the silhouette. Curves (C, O, S) are full and smooth, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) feel sharply driven, producing a strong forward rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified with tight apertures and a single-storey a, and the numerals are bold and highly filling, optimized for impact over delicacy.
Best suited to large-scale typography where strong silhouettes matter: posters, headlines, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and bold social or retail graphics. It can work for short bursts of text when a dense, energetic voice is desired, but the tight counters and heavy color favor display sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a lively, sporty feel and a touch of retro display attitude. Its pronounced slant and chunky forms convey motion and confidence, reading as bold, friendly, and attention-grabbing rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive, motion-forward slant and compact, rounded forms that stay legible at a glance. It prioritizes bold presence and a contemporary sporty vibe while keeping shapes simple and consistent for reliable display use.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and massed, creating dark, cohesive word shapes in text. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the compact internal spaces in letters like e, a, s, and 8 emphasize a strong, poster-ready color.
