A heavy, slanted sans with chunky, rounded forms and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are broadly consistent with subtle shaping that softens corners, giving letters a molded, almost cut-out look rather than a geometric monoline. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and compact, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation with simple, single-storey constructions and short extenders. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, with several forms using small apertures and notches that add motion to the silhouettes.
Best suited to large sizes where its mass and slant can communicate momentum—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold brand marks. It can work well on packaging and sports-related visuals where a strong, energetic voice is needed, especially with short phrases or punchy calls to action.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its slant and compact inner spaces create a sense of forward drive, while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly and slightly retro. The result feels promotional and high-impact rather than formal or text-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning stance and compact, rounded letterforms that read as dynamic and modern-retro. Its simplified shapes and sturdy proportions prioritize immediate recognition and a bold graphic footprint.
Spacing appears intentionally generous in display settings, helping prevent dark areas from collapsing despite the tight counters. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, and many glyphs emphasize broad, stable bases that enhance a grounded, poster-like texture.
