A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled interior counters. Strokes stay consistently thick, with rounded curves on bowls and terminals contrasted by crisp, angled cuts that emphasize forward motion. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while lowercase keeps a compact, utilitarian rhythm with a single-storey “a” and “g” and short ascenders/descenders. Numerals are weighty and highly legible, with clear silhouettes and minimal internal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and brand marks where a bold, kinetic presence is needed. It works well for sports and lifestyle branding, event posters, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage, especially in large sizes where its compact counters and dense texture read clearly.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, poster-like energy. The forward slant and dense color give it a sense of momentum and urgency, leaning into a retro display feel while staying clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, dynamic voice—combining broad, sturdy shapes and an oblique stance to create a strong display style that remains straightforward and readable.
Spacing appears designed for big sizes, producing a strong, uninterrupted typographic mass in headlines. The oblique angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the rounded geometry helps keep the weight from feeling harsh despite the sharp, angled terminals.
