A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are thick and uniform with low modulation, and terminals are smoothly rounded, giving the forms a softened, aerodynamic feel rather than sharp, mechanical edges. Round letters lean into squashed ovals with tight counters, while straight-sided letters (like E, F, T) keep wide bars and blunt ends that read strongly at distance. Lowercase forms are built to match the weight and slant of the caps, with single-storey constructions and a sturdy, simplified skeleton throughout.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and large-format typography where its mass and slant can deliver immediate emphasis. It works well for sports branding, event promos, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage, especially where a bold, friendly impact is preferred over tight, text-oriented readability.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and impact. Its chunky curves and softened corners add a friendly, retro-leaning warmth, making it feel sporty and promotional rather than formal or editorial.
The design appears intended to maximize presence and momentum: wide, heavy shapes for punchy visibility paired with an oblique angle for a sense of speed. Rounded finishing and simplified structures aim to keep the tone approachable while maintaining strong, billboard-level legibility.
Spacing appears generous for such heavy shapes, helping prevent dark clumping in all-caps settings. Numerals are bold and rounded with a clear, sign-like presence, and the slant is consistent across letters and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, speed-driven texture.
