A compact, heavily weighted slanted sans with rounded counters and blunt terminals. The letterforms show a forward-leaning, slightly sheared construction, with tight apertures and dense internal spaces that create strong dark shapes on the line. Curves are smooth and swollen rather than crisp, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) carry a sturdy, wedge-like rhythm. Numerals are similarly robust, with simplified, blocky silhouettes and a consistent forward slant.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where a compact slanted sans can deliver impact at a glance. It works well for sports and event graphics, product packaging, and promotional callouts that benefit from a dense, high-energy word shape. For longer paragraphs, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where counters and apertures have room to breathe.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like punch that reads as lively rather than formal. Its chunky shapes and forward motion suggest speed, impact, and a retro display sensibility. The style feels friendly and approachable due to rounded bowls, while still projecting confidence through mass and compression.
This font appears designed to provide a bold, space-efficient display voice with built-in motion from its forward slant. The construction prioritizes punchy silhouettes and strong line texture, aiming for quick recognition and an energetic, contemporary-retro feel in branding and advertising contexts.
In the sample text, the tight spacing and heavy forms create strong texture and momentum, especially in mixed-case phrases. Some letters emphasize distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes (notably curved forms like S, G, and the rounded numerals), giving the face personality that stands out in short headlines and emphatic messaging.
