A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, aerodynamically cut forms. Strokes are thick with subtly tightened apertures and compact counters, giving letters a dense, muscular silhouette. Curves are smooth and inflated, while joins and terminals often resolve into angled, sheared ends that reinforce forward motion. Overall spacing reads on the tight side in the sample text, creating a strong, unified texture at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports branding, team or club graphics, promotional headlines, posters, and large-format advertising. It can work for brief subheads or callouts where a strong, energetic voice is needed, but its dense forms are less suited to long passages at small sizes.
The tone is fast, loud, and confident, with a distinct sports and action sensibility. Its slanted stance and chunky shapes feel promotional and high-impact, leaning toward a retro athletic vibe rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, using a strong oblique angle, wide stance, and rounded, compact internal spaces to create a bold, cohesive block of text. The angled terminals and inflated curves suggest a focus on athletic or action-oriented display typography.
Round characters like O, Q, and 8 appear especially weighty and stable, while diagonals in letters such as A, K, V, W, and X emphasize the italic momentum. Numerals are built with the same bold, rounded massing, and the overall rhythm favors punchy headline presence over delicate detail.
