A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact, tightly set forms and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with blunt terminals and occasional angled cuts that create a brisk, forward rhythm. Counters are relatively small and apertures are somewhat closed, giving the letters a dense, high-impact texture in words. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows simple, single-storey construction and a round i-dot, reinforcing a clean, graphic look.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a bold italic voice and compact footprint are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, reading as sporty and confident with a hint of retro display character. Its strong slant and dense color make it feel fast, loud, and promotional rather than quiet or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while staying clean and sans in construction. Its compact proportions and uniform weight suggest a focus on strong presence and easy recognition in display settings.
The numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the letters for consistent color in headlines. Because the forms are dense and the slant is pronounced, small sizes or long passages may feel heavy, while larger settings emphasize its punchy silhouette.
