A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes are broadly even with little visible modulation, producing dense, solid letterforms and dark typographic color. Uppercase shapes lean forward with squared-off terminals and softened corners, while the lowercase stays simple and open, with single-storey forms for a and g and a short-armed t. Counters are relatively tight in letters like e and s, and the numerals are thick and straightforward, matching the overall sturdy rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, poster typography, and prominent labels where a bold, fast-moving voice is needed. It can work effectively for sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and punchy marketing copy, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
The forward slant and solid weight create a sense of motion and urgency, reading as sporty and emphatic. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly enough for contemporary branding while still feeling forceful and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver high impact with a forward-leaning stance, combining rounded, geometric sans forms with a compact, powerful texture. The goal appears to be quick recognition and strong presence in short bursts of text.
The pronounced oblique angle, compact spacing, and strong blackness make the face most comfortable at display sizes, where the tight counters and dense texture remain clear. The overall construction favors simple, geometric silhouettes over calligraphic detail, giving it a clean, no-nonsense voice.
