A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners and broad, slightly squared curves that give counters a superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, and joins stay sturdy, producing a dense texture in text. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and tight apertures, while figures are bold and chunky with simple, legible silhouettes.
Works best for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact italic voice is needed. It suits sports and entertainment graphics, bold packaging callouts, logo wordmarks, and short promotional copy where the tight rhythm and heavy color can amplify emphasis.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with an energetic, forward-leaning stance that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its rounded massing adds a friendly, approachable edge, while the dense black presence keeps it confident and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded, superelliptical forms for a modernized retro display feel. Its sturdy construction prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition in titles and branding.
The slant is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a strong directional rhythm. In longer passages the weight and narrow fit produce a compact, high-impact voice, favoring display use over small-size reading.
