A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded contours and tightly packed internal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible modulation, and many forms show a forward-sheared construction that creates wedge-like joins and angled terminals. Curves are full and smooth (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals), while diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y feel sharp and muscular. The overall rhythm is compact and dense, with sturdy proportions and strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports-themed branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for logo wordmarks and title treatments where a compact, energetic slant helps communicate motion and intensity.
The font conveys speed and impact through its forward slant and compact, dark color. Its chunky shapes and rounded corners suggest a sporty, poster-like attitude with a slightly retro, headline-driven confidence.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance, pairing rounded sans forms with a compressed, sheared construction for momentum. The emphasis is on strong display legibility and a dense typographic color that holds up in large-scale applications.
Uppercase forms read as blocky and stable, while lowercase shapes keep the same heavy, sheared logic for a cohesive texture in text. The numerals are bold and rounded, designed to stay legible under tight spacing and high visual weight.
