A very heavy, slanted sans with compact, rounded construction and broad, low-contrast strokes. Curves are strongly smoothed and somewhat squarish in their geometry, giving bowls and counters a sturdy, athletic feel. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, and the overall rhythm is tight, with dense black shapes and relatively small interior counters at text sizes. Numerals match the same robust, rounded build, reading clearly and consistently alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold callouts where impact and motion are desired. It works well for sports branding, promotions, packaging fronts, and short statements that benefit from a strong, condensed visual mass.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, action-oriented character. Its heavy weight and forward slant create a sense of speed and emphasis, making it feel promotional and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or bookish.
Likely intended as a high-impact italic sans for branding and display typography, prioritizing bold presence, clear silhouettes, and a fast, dynamic stance over airy readability in long-form settings.
The design leans toward display use: the thick strokes and compact counters create strong silhouettes that hold up well at large sizes, while extended paragraphs can appear dense and dark. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, contributing to a cohesive, driven texture.
