A heavy, forward-leaning sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded curves that keep counters open even at large weights. The forms are built from broad, smooth arcs with minimal modulation, while joins and terminals are cut on crisp angles that add bite and momentum. Uppercase shapes read compact and sturdy, and the lowercase has a slightly lively, informal rhythm with single-storey constructions and robust bowls. Numerals share the same dense, solid presence, with rounded interiors and clean, slanted cuts that maintain consistency across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where impact and motion are desired—headlines, event posters, brand marks, sports and fitness graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for punchy UI or social graphics when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is fast and punchy, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its oblique stance and thick silhouettes give it a dynamic, attention-grabbing personality that feels upbeat rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a sense of speed, using a strong oblique angle, rounded construction, and angular cuts to balance friendliness with aggression. It prioritizes clear, compact silhouettes that hold up in large, high-contrast settings.
Spacing appears tuned for display impact, creating dark, cohesive word shapes in the sample text. The combination of rounded geometry and sharply sliced terminals produces a distinctive “carved” texture that stays legible while feeling bold and expressive.
