A heavily slanted, high-impact sans with broad proportions and compact vertical metrics. Letterforms are built from rounded, ellipse-like curves paired with sharp, sheared terminals, giving strokes a cut, forward-leaning finish. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are somewhat narrowed, which increases density and creates a strong, continuous black silhouette in words. The rhythm is energetic and slightly bouncy, with subtly varied widths across characters and a consistent, smooth stroke presence throughout capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its slant and dense weight can do the expressive work—headlines, sports and event branding, poster titling, and logo wordmarks. It can also perform well on packaging or promotional graphics where a bold, motion-forward voice is desired, while long paragraphs may feel visually heavy due to the tight counters and strong emphasis.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and slightly nostalgic, evoking classic sports lettering and bold display italics. It reads as promotional and energetic rather than restrained, with a sense of motion that suggests speed and competitiveness.
The font appears designed to deliver a sense of speed and impact through a consistent forward slant, dense color, and clean sans construction. Its rounded foundations keep it approachable, while the sharp, angled terminals add urgency and a performance-oriented edge.
The design relies on a mix of rounded bowls and abrupt diagonal cuts, which helps keep forms crisp at large sizes. Numerals share the same forward drive and rounded construction, making them feel cohesive in score-like or headline settings.
