A heavy, slanted sans with compact internal counters and broad, rounded outer shapes. The forms lean forward with a consistent oblique angle, giving the alphabet a strong sense of motion. Curves are generous and smooth, while joins and terminals tend toward blunt, cut-off endings rather than tapering. Uppercase characters read as sturdy and blocky, and the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel with tight apertures and sturdy stems that hold up in large, dark settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports-related branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes where the dense counters and tight spacing read as deliberate weight and energy. For longer passages, it works more as display text than body copy due to its heavy color and compact interior space.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, promotional feel. Its forward slant and dense color make it feel dynamic and enthusiastic rather than formal. The rounded geometry keeps the mood friendly and approachable while still delivering a strong, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance and rounded, robust letterforms. It prioritizes immediate readability and presence in display settings, aiming for a contemporary, athletic voice that feels bold and engaging.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing a dense texture in paragraphs and a compact footprint in headlines. Round characters like O, Q, and the numerals maintain a strong, consistent silhouette, while diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s momentum and bold rhythm.
