A compact, heavy sans with an oblique slant and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, producing strong, dark text color. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, and counters are tight but cleanly opened for clarity at display sizes. The overall fit is condensed with short extenders and a sturdy, squared-off rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. It works well for sports branding, promotional posters, punchy packaging, and logo wordmarks that need a compact footprint with strong presence.
The font reads bold and energetic, with a sporty, headline-forward attitude. Its rounded, blocky geometry adds a friendly edge while still feeling assertive and fast, evoking a modern-retro sign and jersey sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a heavy weight with softened geometry for approachable strength. The oblique stance reinforces a sense of speed and emphasis, making it well tuned for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms keep wide shoulders and flattened terminals, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure that prioritizes impact over delicacy. Numerals match the same compact, rounded-rect silhouette, helping mixed text feel uniform and emphatic.
