A heavy, right-slanted sans with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms are broad and compact, with rounded corners and occasional sharp cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like notching at joins. Counters are relatively tight (notably in a/e/o), and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with strong, simplified shapes and minimal detailing. Numerals match the same chunky, oblique construction and read as display-oriented rather than text-tuned.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and packaging fronts where the slanted, weighty forms can carry the message. It can also work for wordmarks and badges, especially when set with ample tracking to keep counters from closing up at smaller sizes.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a distinctly athletic, promotional feel. Its angled stance and chiseled terminals suggest speed and impact, leaning into a nostalgic, headline-driven voice rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward motion and a contemporary-retro display sensibility. Its consistent slant, chunky proportions, and carved terminals prioritize recognizability and attitude in large sizes.
Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly compressed vertically, while lowercase maintains clear, single-story constructions with robust bowls and minimal apertures. Curves often transition into flat, angled cuts, giving the design a machined, logo-like presence that stays consistent across letters and figures.
