A compact, right-leaning sans with heavy, low-modulation strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Counters are mostly rounded and somewhat closed, giving letters a dense, punchy silhouette, while terminals tend to be blunt and slightly angled. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, with small, simplified interior spaces and a forward-tilted stance that keeps words visually moving. Numerals follow the same compact, weighty construction and sit firmly on the baseline for a unified set.
Best suited to short text that needs to be noticed—headlines, posters, sports or event branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a compact, forward-leaning sans is desired, but its dense forms make it less ideal for long reading at small sizes.
The tone reads energetic and sporty with a retro, poster-like confidence. Its assertive blackness and consistent slant suggest motion and emphasis, lending an informal, headline-driven personality rather than a quiet editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact word shape with a sense of speed and emphasis. By combining heavy strokes, simplified counters, and a consistent slant, it aims for high-impact display typography that feels contemporary yet hints at classic athletic and advertising vernacular.
Spacing appears designed for impact: letters pack together to form solid word shapes, and rounded forms like O/C/G balance the more angular cuts on diagonals and terminals. The design favors bold silhouettes over fine detail, helping it hold up in quick-glance settings.
