A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact counters. Strokes are thick and smoothly modeled with gently flared joins and soft corners, producing a slightly sculpted, wedge-like feel rather than purely geometric uniformity. The slant and wide set create a strong forward rhythm; apertures stay fairly closed and the inner spaces in letters like a/e/s tighten noticeably at display sizes. Figures are equally robust and rounded, matching the letterforms’ dense, high-impact texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, sports or gaming-themed graphics, and packaging callouts. It can work for large-format subheads, but the dense counters and strong slant make it less comfortable for extended small-text reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, retro-leaning flavor. Its chunky, rounded forms and forward slant read as friendly but forceful—designed to grab attention and convey motion rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a sense of motion: wide, rounded letterforms paired with a consistent oblique stance to create a fast, bold presence that holds up in attention-grabbing display typography.
In the sample text, the weight and width create a dark, continuous typographic color; spacing appears tuned for display, where the tight counters and bold joins feel intentional. The oblique construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, speed-oriented silhouette.
