A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded, pressure-filled shapes. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with softened corners and oval counters that keep the silhouette smooth rather than mechanical. Many forms show compact apertures and tight internal spaces (notably in C, S, e, and s), giving the design a dense, poster-like texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly angled, and the overall rhythm feels fast and cohesive, with consistent slant and robust curves across letters and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports-oriented branding. It can work well on packaging and apparel where bold, slanted letterforms help create motion and attitude. Use generous tracking or larger sizes when setting longer phrases to preserve clarity.
The font conveys speed and impact, with a sporty, headline-driven energy. Its rounded massing and emphatic slant add a friendly playfulness while still reading as loud and confident, evoking retro athletic branding and bold promotional graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of motion, using a strong italic slant, rounded geometry, and dense counters to create a compact, energetic display voice.
The lowercase is built for strong word shapes, with single-storey a and g and a compact, closed-in e that reinforces the heavy, ink-trap-free look. Numerals are similarly chunky and rounded, maintaining consistent color in mixed text. In longer lines, the density of counters and tight joins can make text feel dark and compressed, which suits display use more than extended reading.
