A heavy, right-leaning sans with compact, rounded counters and a distinctly forward-tilted stance. Strokes are thick and smooth with subtly tapered terminals, and many joins form sharp internal angles that give the silhouettes a cut, aerodynamic feel. The caps are broad and blocky, while the lowercase is robust and slightly compact, with single-storey forms and tight apertures that keep the texture dense in words. Numerals and punctuation match the same bold, streamlined rhythm, reading as solid shapes with minimal delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where bold, angled letterforms can carry the message—posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and high-impact social or web banners. It can work for subheads, but the dense color and tight apertures make it less ideal for long text at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty, poster-forward attitude. Its slanted, weighty forms suggest speed and impact, leaning into a retro display sensibility while staying clean and contemporary.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact and motion, combining rounded, compact interiors with slanted, aggressive shaping to create a fast, attention-grabbing voice for display typography.
The design relies on strong silhouette recognition—closed counters and small openings help maintain a consistent dark color across lines. The italics feel integral rather than mechanically obliqued, with diagonals and curved strokes shaped to preserve balance and momentum at large sizes.
