A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and superelliptical geometry. Strokes are thick and tightly controlled, with rounded-rectangle curves, blunt terminals, and compact interior counters that keep the silhouette dense. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a forward-leaning rhythm. Curves (C, G, O, S) feel squared-off rather than purely circular, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) read as sturdy blocks with softened corners.
Best suited to large sizes where the thick strokes and compact counters can read clearly—sports branding, energetic posters, bold headlines, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for packaging and short, high-impact taglines where a strong, forward motion is desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, attention-grabbing presence. Its wide, slanted forms suggest speed and impact, leaning into a retro display feel without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rect aesthetic and a built-in sense of motion from the oblique stance. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and consistent, geometric rounding to create a cohesive display voice across letters and numbers.
Lowercase follows the same chunky, rounded-rect logic as the capitals, maintaining a uniform, high-ink look in text. Numerals are equally weighty and slanted, with simplified shapes that prioritize bold presence over fine detail, making the set feel cohesive for headline-driven typography.
