A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and a compact, muscular build. Strokes are thick and consistent, with smooth, rounded curves paired with crisp, slightly angled terminals that reinforce motion. Counters are relatively tight in letters like O, B, and a, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. The rhythm is energetic and slightly condensed within each glyph’s interior spaces, while the overall set stays visually stable through consistent slant and robust stroke weight.
Best suited for display typography where impact and motion are desirable—headlines, posters, athletic or action-oriented branding, packaging callouts, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for short subheads or UI hero moments, but the dense counters and strong slant favor larger sizes over extended reading.
The overall tone is fast, confident, and attention-grabbing, with a sporty, retro-leaning voice. Its strong italic posture and chunky forms convey urgency and momentum, making it feel bold and competitive rather than quiet or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed, using broad letterforms, dense interiors, and a consistent italic angle to project energy. Rounded construction keeps it friendly and accessible while the aggressive weight and sharp diagonals maintain a competitive, high-performance feel.
Round characters (O, Q, 0) read as sturdy ovals with thick rings, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize sharp angles that cut cleanly through the heavy weight. The lowercase uses simple, single-storey forms and maintains the same forward drive, and the numerals are similarly weighty with clear silhouettes suited to quick recognition at display sizes.
