A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and dense counters that stay open at display sizes. Strokes are uniform and weighty, with softened corners and subtly squared terminals that keep the silhouettes chunky and stable. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines a forward-leaning rhythm and a sense of motion. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are built from compact ovals, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are thick and assertive with minimal taper.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, punchy packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where impact is the priority. It can work for short subheads or UI emphasis, but its mass and slant favor brief, high-contrast messaging over long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-first personality. Its forward lean and thick, rounded shapes feel contemporary and upbeat, lending a playful confidence that reads well in bold statements and attention-grabbing messaging.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while keeping forms friendly through rounded construction. The goal seems to be a versatile display face that communicates momentum and confidence without resorting to sharp, aggressive detailing.
Lowercase shows single-storey construction for a and g, and the numerals share the same slanted, blocky geometry for a unified texture. The dot on i/j is round and prominent, and the ampersand matches the font’s compact, heavy rhythm, helping mixed-content lines feel cohesive.
