A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, softly squared forms and a strong, compact silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with modest internal shaping, producing small counters and a sturdy, high-impact texture. Terminals are blunt and smoothly finished, and curves are generously rounded, giving letters a friendly, inflated feel. Overall spacing and letterfit read tight in text, creating a dense, cohesive rhythm suited to large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, and bold brand moments where a compact, high-ink presence is desirable. It works particularly well for sports branding, event promotions, packaging, and punchy social graphics that benefit from motion and immediacy.
The tone is bold and energetic with a distinctly sporty, poster-forward attitude. Its softened geometry keeps it approachable and playful, while the strong slant adds motion and urgency reminiscent of retro athletics and action branding.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of speed and friendliness, combining a strong slanted stance with rounded, simplified shapes for quick recognition in display settings.
Round characters like O/0 and 8 appear very full with compact apertures, and numerals share the same chunky, forward-leaning stance for a unified alphanumeric color. The design favors impact over fine detail, so small sizes may look dark as counters close up.
