A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and a compact, poster-like footprint. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth, generous arcs that keep counters open in letters like O, P, and e. Terminals are mostly blunt, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce the forward-leaning motion. Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and headlines.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, event graphics, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for UI or editorial callouts when used at larger sizes and with comfortable spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, action-oriented feel that reads as upbeat rather than formal. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly, while the strong slant and weight add urgency and momentum. The overall impression is modern display with a touch of retro athletic signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a forward-leaning, energetic stance and rounded, approachable shapes. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition over quiet neutrality, making it a natural choice for display typography and branding where motion and confidence are key.
In the sample text the strong black mass and tight rhythm create an assertive page color, making the face best when given room to breathe via tracking and line spacing. The numeral set matches the letters in weight and slant, supporting cohesive, graphic typographic layouts.
