A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and dense color. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with rounded curves that keep counters open despite the weight. The letterforms show a forward-leaning construction and a compact, slightly compressed internal spacing that creates a strong, continuous rhythm in text. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, while bowls and rounds (O, C, e, o) read as smooth ellipses, balancing the more squared, block-like joins in letters such as M, N, and K.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short, high-visibility messages where a solid, energetic voice is needed. It fits sports and fitness branding, bold packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark work that benefits from a wide, slanted silhouette. In long passages the dense weight can dominate, so it performs best when used sparingly and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is bold and high-impact, with a forward motion that feels athletic and assertive. Its chunky shapes and rounded geometry add a friendly, slightly playful edge, making it feel contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning attitude. Its rounded-yet-blocky construction suggests a goal of combining friendliness with authority, creating a display sans that reads quickly and holds up in large, bold settings.
At display sizes the distinctive slant and wide stance produce a pronounced “banner” feel, with strong horizontal momentum. Numerals match the letters in weight and stance, giving headings and short statements a cohesive, poster-ready presence.
