A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, inflated-looking bowls. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with softened corners and frequent angled terminals that create a forward-leaning, speed-oriented rhythm. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward closed, giving the face a dense, blocky color. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), and the numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction with noticeable oblique stress.
Best suited to display typography: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, punchy packaging callouts, and bold logo lockups. It can work for short subheads or emphatic UI labels when set large with comfortable letterspacing, but is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone is punchy and kinetic, with a confident, game-day attitude. Its rounded massing keeps it friendly rather than severe, while the strong slant and tight internal spaces add urgency and impact. The result feels both retro and promotional—built to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward motion—combining thick, rounded forms with an oblique stance to suggest speed and strength. Its simplified, closed shapes prioritize strong silhouettes and immediate legibility at large sizes.
The heavy weight and compact counters make small sizes prone to filling-in, especially in tight tracking or on low-resolution outputs. It performs best when given generous spacing and used in short bursts where its bold silhouette can do the work.
