A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, soft-edged geometry. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with gently curved joins and subtly sheared terminals that reinforce the forward-leaning momentum. Counters tend to be compact, giving the letters a dense, high-impact texture, while spacing reads fairly tight and headline-oriented. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, rounded construction, maintaining a consistent, blocky rhythm across the set.
Best suited for large sizes where its dense forms and slanted energy can read clearly—headlines, posters, sports-themed branding, and bold promotional graphics. It can also work for punchy logos and packaging callouts, but the heavy texture may feel crowded in long passages or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, retro flavor reminiscent of bold display lettering used in posters and team branding. Its rounded forms keep it friendly despite the weight, while the italic slant adds speed and urgency.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that emphasizes speed and strength through wide proportions, rounded construction, and a pronounced italic slant, aiming for attention-grabbing typography in branding and advertising contexts.
Diagonal cuts and sheared details show up in several strokes, creating a cohesive sense of motion. Round letters (like O and Q) appear sturdy and compact, and the lowercase maintains a similarly chunky silhouette that prioritizes impact over delicacy.
