A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a dense, solid texture with minimal modulation. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly softened, and several joins show subtle angled cuts that add snap to the silhouette without introducing sharp, high-contrast detail. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a single-storey “a,” while numerals are similarly weighty and built for impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a slanted, energetic voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where its tight spacing and dense forms can breathe.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-forward presence. Its rounded forms keep it approachable, while the pronounced slant and massed weight convey motion and confidence. The effect leans retro and headline-centric rather than neutral or text-driven.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded sans structure and a dynamic forward slant. The combination of broad shapes, solid stroke weight, and compact counters suggests a focus on attention-grabbing display typography that reads as fast, strong, and contemporary with a retro edge.
Spacing reads intentionally tight and the color on the page is very dark, creating strong block-like word shapes. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) dominate the rhythm, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) feel muscular and stable, reinforcing a bold, forward-leaning cadence.
