A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and a smooth, continuous curve language. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be compact, giving the letters a dense, high-ink presence. Strokes feel largely uniform with gentle optical modulation in curved joins, and terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is punchy and forward-leaning, with a wide stance and strong horizontal momentum in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, prominent text where size and presence matter: headlines, poster titles, sports graphics, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but the dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is energetic and assertive, reading as fast, sporty, and attention-seeking. Its bold, rounded shapes and pronounced slant suggest motion and impact, with a slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of classic athletic and action-oriented branding.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed and modern punch, combining wide proportions, rounded construction, and a strong oblique angle for energetic display typography.
Round characters like O, Q, and 8 appear especially massive and stable, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the italic drive. The lowercase keeps the same weighty presence, and the numerals are built to match the headline-oriented density and curvature.
