A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact internal spaces. Strokes are thick and uniform, with soft corner treatment and smoothly curved bowls that keep the color dense and consistent. The italic angle is pronounced, and many joins and terminals are cut with assertive diagonals, producing a forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms read sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase stays clean and simple with single-storey shapes and minimal detailing.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and brand moments that need immediate impact—especially in sports, entertainment, and energetic promotional design. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts where a compact, powerful voice is desired, while longer text will benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its strong slant and dense weight convey motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than sharp or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a dense, oblique silhouette and rounded, simplified letterforms. Its construction prioritizes speed, clarity, and a contemporary display feel over delicate detailing, making it a strong choice for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Numerals and caps maintain a cohesive, punchy silhouette that holds together well at larger sizes, with counters that may tighten in small text. The slanted geometry and diagonal cuts create a consistent sense of momentum across both letters and figures.
