A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and a firmly geometric backbone. Strokes are thick and confident with rounded curves and clean, open counters, while terminals read mostly squared-off with subtle softening at corners. The forms are simplified and sturdy, with smooth bowls, sturdy diagonals, and a consistently forward slant that creates strong directional flow. Spacing is built for impact, with wide letterforms and clear interior shapes that keep text legible at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other large-scale display settings where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It works well for sports and fitness branding, promotional advertising, and packaging that benefits from high-impact, fast-moving letterforms.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, athletic cadence created by the oblique angle and wide stance. It feels contemporary and promotional, designed to project confidence and momentum rather than delicacy or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and motion through wide, bold shapes and a consistent oblique slant. Its simplified geometry and open counters suggest a focus on clarity and recognizability in attention-grabbing display typography.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create a bold texture with strong word shapes; curved letters like C, O, S and G stay round and open, while angled letters (A, V, W, X, Y) amplify a dynamic, forward-driving rhythm. Numerals match the same robust, slightly rounded construction for cohesive display use.
