A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded, geometric bowls. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are mostly blunt or softly rounded, creating dense, high-impact letterforms. Counters are relatively tight (notably in O, P, R, a, e), and shapes rely on simple curves and sturdy diagonals, giving the alphabet a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm. Numerals match the weight and slant, with bold, simplified forms that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited for large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It can work for short subheads or emphasis text where a strong, kinetic voice is needed, but the dense weight is less comfortable for extended reading.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, headline-driven energy. Its oblique stance and chunky shapes suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. The look evokes classic athletic branding and retro display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic, forward-leaning posture, combining geometric roundness with sturdy, condensed-looking black shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the wide black massing creates strong word shapes. Spacing appears slightly tight in the heaviest areas, which reinforces impact but can make long lines feel dense at smaller sizes.
