A forceful, right-slanted sans with compact counters, rounded joins, and pronounced stroke modulation that reads as intentionally sculpted rather than purely geometric. The letterforms are broad and weighty, with wedge-like terminals and subtle notch/ink-trap behavior at tight joins that helps keep interior spaces open at heavy weight. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, while straight strokes stay sturdy and blunt, creating a consistent, impact-first rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where the heavy slant and punchy contrast can do the work—headlines, posters, covers, and brand marks. It can also perform well on packaging or signage when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve clarity in the tighter counters.
The overall tone is energetic and athletic, with a bold, forward-leaning momentum that feels built for attention and speed. Its chunky contrast and angled endings add a retro display flavor reminiscent of sports branding and headline-driven graphics.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact while keeping a lively, contemporary rhythm. The combination of extreme weight, forward slant, and controlled notches suggests a practical display face engineered to stay readable under heavy strokes and to project motion and confidence.
The slant is steady and prominent, giving lines of text a strong directional flow. The numerals match the letters in weight and stance, with rounded shapes and tight apertures that emphasize solidity over delicacy.
