A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and tight internal spacing. Strokes are robust and relatively even, with softly rounded joins and terminals that keep the color smooth despite the weight. Counters are compact (notably in B, a, e, and 8), and the overall rhythm is dense and continuous, producing strong texture in words. The italic construction reads as a true oblique/italic hybrid, with forward-leaning forms and sturdy diagonals that stay crisp at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short, emphatic messaging where strong presence and speed are desirable. It performs well in branding systems that need a bold, forward-leaning voice, as well as sports, event, and promotional graphics. The dense texture suggests using it at moderate-to-large sizes, with comfortable tracking if set in longer lines.
The tone is assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Its rounded shaping and generous mass make it feel approachable rather than severe, while the strong slant adds momentum and a sense of motion.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a modern, energetic slant—combining a straightforward sans structure with rounded, heavy forms for legibility and warmth in display settings.
Uppercase forms are clean and blocky with minimal ornament, while lowercase letters lean into compact bowls and sturdy stems for consistent word shapes. Numerals match the same dense, bold color; rounded figures like 0, 6, 8, and 9 appear especially weight-forward and attention-grabbing.
