A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded, softly squared contours. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, high-impact silhouette. The italic angle is pronounced and creates a strong forward motion, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth and geometric, with a slightly bouncy rhythm across the lowercase and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where impact and momentum are the priority—posters, sports and action-themed branding, packaging callouts, and bold social or thumbnail text. It can work for brief subheads, but the weight and slant make it less comfortable for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels energetic and punchy, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its forward slant and massed black shapes read as urgent and action-oriented, leaning toward a retro display sensibility rather than a quiet, neutral voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, forward-leaning stance. By combining simplified geometric shapes with a dense weight and clean terminals, it aims for high legibility at display sizes while projecting energy and confidence.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with diagonals and horizontals that read cleanly at large sizes. Lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably a and g), reinforcing an informal, contemporary feel. Numerals are similarly bold and rounded, maintaining the same compact, forward-leaning rhythm.
