A heavy, slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Forms feel compact and sturdy, with generous curves in bowls and counters and minimal ink traps or detailing. Uppercase shapes are broad and simple, while lowercase uses a single-storey a and g, maintaining a consistent, contemporary rhythm. Numerals are thick and open, matching the letters’ rounded terminals and overall forward-leaning stance.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where bold emphasis and forward motion are desirable. It works well in branding and packaging that needs a modern, energetic voice, and it’s particularly apt for sports-leaning identities, promotions, and display typography.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a clear sense of motion from the italic angle and the dense weight. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh, giving it a contemporary, athletic flavor suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic sans that combines strong weight with rounded, friendly geometry to project speed and confidence while staying legible and contemporary.
The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and spacing appears tuned for strong word shapes at larger sizes. Curves dominate over sharp joins, but diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp enough to preserve clarity in bold settings.
