A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded curves and clean, blunt terminals. Letterforms feel compact and sturdy, with a consistent thick stroke and minimal modulation. The slant is pronounced and uniform, giving diagonals and stems a forward-leaning momentum. Counters are generally open but tightened by the weight, and the overall rhythm is dense and forceful, with strong, simple geometry in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of text, and identity applications where strong emphasis is needed. It performs well in posters, packaging, sports-themed graphics, and bold branding, especially when set with generous spacing and used at medium to large sizes to showcase its slanted, muscular silhouette.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a fast, athletic feel. Its italic stance and chunky proportions read as energetic and promotional, leaning toward a slightly retro display voice often associated with sports, action, or bold headline typography.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through weight and forward motion, pairing simple sans construction with an emphatic oblique angle. The intent appears focused on attention-grabbing display use rather than long-form reading, prioritizing bold presence and energetic rhythm.
The uppercase set emphasizes wide bowls and strong diagonals (notably in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W), while the lowercase maintains clear, simple construction with single-storey forms where expected (e.g., a). Numerals are similarly heavy and rounded, designed to hold up at large sizes where the slant and mass create immediate presence.
