A heavy, oblique sans with compact, rounded-rectangle construction and broad, smooth curves. The letters show tight apertures and sturdy counters, with squared-off joins softened by generous corner rounding that keeps the texture cohesive at large sizes. Strokes remain uniform and dense, producing a dark, continuous color; terminals are typically flat or subtly angled, reinforcing the forward-leaning motion. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the body and simple, robust forms that read as solid blocks in text.
Best suited to headlines, large-format typography, and branding where punch and motion are priorities—sports identities, event promotions, packaging callouts, and bold editorial openers. It can work for short subheads or emphatic pull quotes, but the dense color and tight apertures suggest avoiding long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, leaning into a sporty, poster-like voice. Its slant and mass convey speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than harsh. The result feels bold, contemporary, and slightly retro in a display-signage way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance and a cohesive, rounded-rectangular skeleton. It prioritizes loud display clarity and brandable shapes over delicate detail, creating a sturdy, energetic voice for attention-grabbing typography.
In longer lines the tight interior spaces and strong slant create a powerful rhythm, but also increase the sense of compression and visual momentum. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and rounding, with a similarly blocky, high-impact presence.
