A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and large counters, built from smooth curves and straight, clean joins. The letterforms lean consistently forward, with rounded bowls (O, C, D) and sturdy, flattened terminals that create a compact, block-like silhouette. Curves are simplified and geometric, while diagonals and joins (K, M, N, W) stay dense and muscular, giving the design strong internal rhythm and tight spacing in text. Numerals follow the same chunky, forward-leaning structure, with clear, high-impact shapes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and large-format typography where impact and motion are desired. Its stout, rounded construction also works well for sports branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and apparel/merch wordmarks that need bold visibility at a distance.
The overall tone is athletic and assertive, projecting speed and momentum through its steady slant and dense strokes. It reads as contemporary and promotional, with a loud, attention-grabbing presence suited to energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of forward motion, using a consistent oblique stance and simplified rounded geometry to stay legible while feeling fast and energetic.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to add motion without turning forms into scripts, and the rounded construction keeps the weight feeling friendly rather than aggressive. In longer lines, the tight, compact silhouettes create a strong texture that favors display sizes over small text.
