A heavy, forward-slanted display face with compact proportions and broad, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms are built from chunky, rounded rectangles and tapered terminals, giving the shapes a carved, poster-like solidity. Many glyphs show angled cuts and small spur-like flicks on corners, with occasional swash-like tails (notably in C/S-style curves and several lowercase forms). Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense, with a slightly irregular, handcrafted feel across the set.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact matters: posters, punchy headlines, title cards, and branding marks that need a sense of speed and swagger. It can also work on packaging or merchandise where a retro-sport or comic-hero flavor is desired. For longer passages, its density and strong slant are more effective as accent typography than as body text.
The tone is loud and kinetic, leaning into a retro, high-impact attitude. Its slant and chunky forms suggest motion and bravado, while the quirky corner flicks and softened edges keep it playful rather than formal. Overall it reads as attention-seeking and characterful, with a “headline first” personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and motion in a compact footprint, using bold geometry and angled detailing to create a distinctive, one-off voice. Its consistent slant and chunky construction aim to keep words cohesive at display sizes while the irregular terminals add personality and memorability.
Uppercase forms feel more squared and monolithic, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic curves and terminal treatments that add to the novelty character. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky construction and maintain strong presence in a line of text.
