A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Curves are generously rounded and terminals are clean and blunt, giving letters a dense, compact feel with tight internal counters. The overall rhythm is assertive and forward-leaning, with consistent weight distribution and minimal detailing that keeps forms solid and graphic.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and speed are desired: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text such as calls-to-action, labels, and title cards, where its dense weight and slanted stance reinforce emphasis.
The tone is loud, fast, and attention-grabbing, with a sporty, poster-like immediacy. Its strong slant and chunky shapes evoke motion and urgency, lending a slightly retro, headline-driven personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of motion, using a strong slant, wide stance, and rounded geometry to stay friendly while remaining forceful. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and consistent texture for attention-focused typography.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and block-like, while the lowercase keeps the same mass and slant for a unified texture in text. Numerals are equally weighty and compact, matching the alphabet’s punchy color and maintaining clear silhouette recognition at display sizes.
