A heavy oblique sans with broad, rounded curves and crisp, squared terminals. The stroke joins are sturdy and simplified, keeping counters open while maintaining a compact, dense color. Uppercase forms read as geometric and block-forward, while lowercase shows single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and short, assertive extenders. Numerals are similarly weighty and slanted, with round bowls and firm horizontals that reinforce a strong, poster-like texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand statements. The strong oblique stance makes it especially effective for sports-oriented graphics, energetic advertising, and packaging where immediate attention and a dense typographic color are desirable.
The slanted, high-impact shapes give the face a fast, forward-leaning attitude that feels sporty and assertive. Its bold silhouette and simplified geometry evoke a slightly retro, display-oriented tone—confident and loud without becoming decorative.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean sans framework, combining a strong oblique lean with rounded geometry to suggest speed and momentum. The consistent, simplified construction prioritizes bold readability and a compact headline texture over fine detail.
The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive right-leaning rhythm. Spacing appears tuned for large sizes, where the chunky forms and rounded bowls stay legible and the overall word shapes remain compact and forceful.
