A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Letterforms are built from sturdy geometric strokes with rounded curves and squared-off terminals, producing a dense, poster-like color on the page. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with a slightly forward-leaning rhythm that emphasizes motion. Bowls and apertures stay relatively tight (notably in letters like a, e, s, and 8), while the numerals are bold and stable with simplified shapes designed for impact.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for strong UI labels or section headers when used with generous tracking and line spacing to prevent the dense forms from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, communicating speed, confidence, and immediacy. Its thick strokes and strong slant give it a competitive, sports-adjacent feel, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result reads as modern and energetic with a hint of retro headline styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of forward motion. Its combination of wide, heavy forms and a consistent slant suggests a focus on display typography for branding and promotional messaging where immediacy and strength are key.
In longer sample lines the texture remains very dark, with spacing and counters that favor punch over airiness. The slant and massing make it most comfortable at display sizes where word shapes can breathe and the compact counters don’t clog.
