A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, smoothly modeled curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt with softened corners, giving the forms a dense, graphic presence. Counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm feels tightly packed, especially in the lowercase where the tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders keep lines visually solid. Uppercase forms read sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more bounce through angled joins and simplified, single-storey shapes.
Best suited for impactful headlines, posters, and short messaging where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desired. It also fits sports and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark work that benefits from wide, rounded forms and a compact, high-energy texture.
The font conveys speed and momentum through its consistent slant and blocky weight, while the rounded geometry keeps the tone approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as energetic and promotional, with a subtle retro-athletic flavor reminiscent of bold headline typography used in sports and advertising.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, modern feel—combining a strong slant and chunky, rounded construction for attention-grabbing display typography that remains friendly and readable in short bursts.
The numerals and uppercase are designed to hold up as bold shapes at a distance, with clear silhouettes and minimal interior detail. In longer text, the dense color and tight counters make it feel best suited to larger sizes where the rounded forms and slant can be appreciated without crowding.
