A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation for a sans, with wedge-like joins and slightly sculpted curves that give the letters a cut, engineered feel. Terminals tend to be blunt or softly rounded, and several forms (like the lowercase a and g) lean toward single-storey, display-oriented constructions. The overall rhythm is dense and energetic, with strong horizontal presence and a consistently forward-leaning italic axis.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can work for subheads and short blurbs at larger sizes, but the dense counters and heavy mass make it less ideal for long text at small sizes.
The tone is loud and momentum-driven, evoking vintage sports lettering and bold advertising headlines. Its rounded details keep it friendly, while the hard angles and strong slant add urgency and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a fast, forward-leaning stance, combining sans-serif simplicity with contrasted strokes for added bite. It aims to feel modernized-retro and highly legible at display sizes while projecting energy and confidence.
Uppercase forms read blocky and assertive, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounder bowls and tightly pinched counters. Numerals are similarly weighty and simplified, optimized for immediate recognition rather than delicate detail.
