A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are thick and smoothly modeled, with rounded bowls and softened corners that keep the texture cohesive at large sizes. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, and the joins and terminals read as blunt and sturdy rather than sharp. Numerals and capitals share the same wide footprint and dark color, producing an even, punchy rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent titling where a strong italic emphasis is desired. It also fits sports branding, high-impact advertising, and packaging systems that benefit from a wide, confident silhouette and high visual density.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a strong display presence that feels sporty and promotional. Its wide stance and bold, oblique posture give it an assertive, headline-driven character with a mild retro flavor.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a cohesive, wide oblique voice—prioritizing speed, emphasis, and bold presence over text-centric delicacy.
In the sample text the dense weight and narrowed apertures can cause counters to close up in longer passages, so it reads best where impact matters more than fine detail. The shapes stay clean and uniform, helping short words and logos remain stable even at extreme sizes.
