A heavy, slanted sans with a pronounced forward lean and broad proportions. Strokes are uniform and dense, with rounded outer curves and tight internal counters that create a compact, high-impact texture in words. Terminals often read as sheared or angled, reinforcing motion, while curves stay smooth and circular, especially in O/C/G forms. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly bold, simplified shapes and slightly squared-off joins where diagonals meet stems.
Best suited to short, high-visibility applications such as headlines, posters, and promotional messaging where impact and momentum matter. It can work well for sports branding, product packaging, and bold campaign graphics, especially at larger sizes where the compact counters remain legible.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, display-forward attitude. Its thick, leaning forms feel loud and promotional, suggesting speed and confidence rather than refinement or restraint. The rhythm in the sample text comes across as energetic and attention-grabbing, with a slightly retro, headline-driven flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of forward motion, combining bold, rounded construction with angled terminals for a fast, display-centric voice. It prioritizes visual punch and brand presence over long-form readability.
In continuous text the tight counters and heavy weight quickly build a dark color, so spacing and line length become important for clarity. The strong slant and wide set give it a distinctive presence, making even short phrases feel dynamic and directional.
