A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes stay largely uniform, with softened corners and blunt terminals that create a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Counters are small and tightly controlled, giving the letters a solid, poster-like color, while diagonals and joins (notably in V/W/X/K) keep a brisk forward rhythm. The overall feel is condensed and upright in structure but clearly italic in posture, with simple, geometric curves rather than calligraphic modulation.
Best used for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding—especially in sports, motorsport, gaming, or energetic retail contexts. It also suits packaging and apparel graphics where a compact, forward-leaning sans can hold attention and remain legible at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads bold and high-energy, with a retro sports and entertainment flavor. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly rather than aggressive, while the strong slant and compact massing add urgency and motion—well suited to headlines that need to feel fast, loud, and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, assertive display voice using compact, rounded geometry and a pronounced slant. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive, modern-retro rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky with consistent rounding, and the lowercase carries the same industrial smoothness without becoming script-like. Numerals share the same compact, thick shapes, maintaining an even texture across mixed settings. In longer lines the dense counters and strong slant create a pronounced texture, favoring display sizes over extended small-text use.
