A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact interior spaces. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with softened curves and wedge-like cuts on some terminals that create a forward-leaning, kinetic rhythm. The lowercase is robust and sturdy, with single-storey forms (notably the a) and a simple, utilitarian construction; the numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to hold up at large sizes. Overall spacing and shapes emphasize impact over delicacy, producing a dense, high-ink presence.
Best suited to short, bold settings where impact matters—headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and prominent on-screen callouts. It can work for logo-type or wordmarks when a fast, muscular voice is desired, but the dense counters and heavy weight make it less appropriate for long reading text.
The font projects speed and power, with a sporty, poster-like energy. Its slanted stance and chunky forms feel assertive and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a retro athletic and headline-driven tone rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, energetic silhouette. Its rounded structure and consistent heaviness suggest a goal of maintaining legibility at display sizes while conveying motion and strength.
Round letters like O and Q show tight counters and strong outer curves; diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Z feel engineered and angular, reinforcing the sense of motion. The dot on i/j appears large and solid, matching the weight of the rest of the design and maintaining consistency in dark color across text.
