A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the dense weight from looking harsh. Curves are smooth and geometric-leaning, while diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X) create a strong forward rhythm. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate and the overall color is dark and even, favoring impact over fine detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can work for brief subheads or UI emphasis where a strong, friendly voice is desired, but the dense weight and compact counters make it less ideal for long reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, with a sporty, action-oriented slant that feels promotional and upbeat. Rounded shaping adds approachability, giving it a friendly confidence rather than an aggressive edge. The result reads as modern with a hint of retro athletic styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, forward-leaning stance while staying approachable through rounded geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and consistent, even stroke color for branding-led typography.
Uppercase forms look sturdy and poster-ready, while lowercase maintains the same muscular construction with simplified, single-storey shapes. Numerals are similarly bold and highly legible at a glance, with ample curves and minimal detailing that preserves clarity under strong weight.
