A heavy, oblique sans with chunky strokes and a compact, forward-leaning stance. Letterforms are built from broad, slightly squared curves and angled terminals, producing a tightened, athletic silhouette. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be narrowed, reinforcing a dense, impact-oriented texture. The rhythm is assertive and somewhat uneven in a deliberate way, with subtle width shifts and brisk diagonals that keep lines of text moving.
Well suited to sports branding, team or event graphics, punchy posters, and headline-driven layouts where a strong, kinetic voice is needed. It can also work effectively on packaging, apparel, stickers, and social graphics where bold shapes must hold up at a glance.
The overall tone is energetic and sporty, evoking fast motion, competition, and bold promotional messaging. Its slanted, blocky construction reads as confident and loud, with a retro display feel that favors excitement over restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, using oblique construction, dense counters, and angular shaping to create a forceful display presence.
Numerals and capitals share the same wedge-like, oblique geometry, helping headlines feel unified. The boldness and compact counters can cause tight internal spaces at smaller sizes, so it visually performs best when given room and used where impact is the priority.
