A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and compact internal counters. Strokes stay consistently thick with gently softened corners and a slight industrial smoothness rather than sharp, calligraphic edges. The slant is strong and uniform, creating forward motion across both uppercase and lowercase, while apertures and counters are kept relatively tight for a dense, high-impact silhouette. Curves (C, G, S, O, 0) read as sturdy ellipses, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are chunky and stable, giving the face a solid, blocky rhythm in display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, social graphics, sports or automotive-themed branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for punchy subheads where a forward-leaning, assertive voice is needed, especially when given ample spacing.
The overall tone feels fast, bold, and energetic, with a poster-and-graphics presence that suggests motion and impact. Its rounded geometry keeps the mood friendly and approachable despite the weight, while the pronounced slant adds urgency and a sporty, action-oriented character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, rounded sans structure and a strong forward slant. It prioritizes bold presence and motion over fine detail, aiming for confident display typography that reads as energetic and contemporary with a retro-leaning heft.
The sample text shows strong word shape and a compact texture, but the tight counters and heavy joins mean it benefits from generous tracking and leading as sizes drop. Numerals are similarly weighty and slanted, matching the letterforms for cohesive, headline-first typography.
