A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and uniform with smooth curves and softly rounded joins, giving counters an open, circular feel. Terminals tend to be blunt and clean, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, producing a strong forward motion. Spacing is relatively tight in display settings, creating a dense, impactful texture while maintaining clear letter separation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, kinetic presence is desired. It can also work for sports, fitness, and product packaging applications that benefit from a forward-leaning, high-impact word shape. For longer passages, it performs most comfortably at large sizes where counters and inner shapes have room to breathe.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a contemporary, action-oriented slant. Its rounded construction keeps the voice approachable rather than harsh, balancing strength with a friendly, casual feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, contemporary silhouette: a heavy italic sans that reads quickly, feels active, and stays visually friendly through rounded forms and simplified details.
The sample text shows the design holding together well in large paragraphs, where the strong weight and slant create a continuous, fast rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and curvature, reinforcing a cohesive, bold typographic color.
