A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and dense, compact counters. Strokes are smooth and rounded at key joins, giving the forms a softened, inflated feel despite the strong weight. Lettershapes lean on simple geometric curves and sturdy diagonals, with a consistent, poster-like rhythm and minimal internal detailing. The numerals match the same robust construction and forward-leaning momentum.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display typography where impact and momentum are desired. It works well for sports-themed branding, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional materials that benefit from a bold, energetic voice.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, retro-leaning flavor that feels designed to grab attention. Its bold, slanted presence conveys motion and confidence, balancing toughness with friendly roundedness.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that communicates speed and strength through a strong slant, broad stance, and simplified geometric forms. It prioritizes silhouette clarity and presence over fine detail, aiming for immediate readability in large, attention-driven contexts.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping lines of text read as a unified, forward-driving block. The heavy weight and tight counters can cause interior spaces to close up at small sizes, while larger settings emphasize its strong silhouette.
