A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, compact counters and a slightly condensed feel in many letters. Strokes stay broadly uniform, producing a dense, blocky color, while curves are softened rather than sharply geometric. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) read strong and stable. The lowercase is upright in structure but carries the same rightward slant, with single-storey forms and tight apertures that emphasize mass and momentum; figures are equally bold and simplified for display impact.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where weight and slant can drive emphasis—headlines, posters, bold editorial callouts, and energetic brand applications. It can work well in sports- or action-adjacent identities, event graphics, and packaging where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, poster-like attitude. Its big, rounded shapes and pronounced slant give it a lively, action-forward character that feels friendly rather than aggressive, leaning toward retro athletic and pop display styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with minimal detail: a bold, rounded sans structure combined with a strong slant to create motion, urgency, and readability in short phrases. It prioritizes silhouette clarity and a unified dark texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing and shapes are optimized for headline presence: the interior whitespace is kept tight, and many joins and curves are smoothed to maintain a solid silhouette at large sizes. The italic angle is a major contributor to its personality, making even simple words feel fast and emphatic.
