A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded shapes and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and even, with blunt terminals and tightly controlled counters that create strong black density. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving lines a forward-leaning rhythm. Overall proportions feel sturdy and slightly compressed in the apertures, with a clean, modern geometry and no decorative detailing.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can work well in sports, fitness, or industrial-leaning identities, and in packaging or labels that benefit from bold, forward motion. For long passages, it’s most effective in brief callouts or emphatic subheads due to its dense color.
The typeface projects speed and assertiveness, reading as energetic and no-nonsense. Its dark color and steady slant lend a sporty, workmanlike tone that feels contemporary and performance-driven rather than delicate or playful.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern sans structure and a consistent oblique stance. The emphasis appears to be on bold presence, fast visual rhythm, and clear, contemporary letterforms that remain cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At text sizes the heavy weight produces a solid, high-impact texture; open spacing and generous sidebearings help keep the oblique forms from feeling cramped. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across mixed alphanumeric settings.
