A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and broadly rounded curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, producing solid, high-ink forms and sturdy counters. Terminals are blunt and softly shaped rather than sharp, and round letters like O/C/G read as squarish-oval due to the weight and tight internal space. The lowercase keeps a practical, single-storey feel (notably a and g), with short ascenders/descenders and a dense, forward-leaning rhythm.
Best used for headlines and short statements where strong presence is needed—posters, sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, and bold signage. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms, while extended body text may feel dense due to the weight and tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with an assertive slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its chunky geometry and tight counters give it a tough, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, action-oriented stance, combining rounded construction with blocky mass for clear, punchy display typography.
The italics are built into the structure rather than applied as a simple shear, helping diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) feel especially forceful. At smaller sizes, the thickness and enclosed counters may reduce clarity, while at display sizes the silhouettes stay clean and impactful.
