A very heavy, slanted sans with smooth, rounded terminals and broadly circular bowls. The shapes are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Curves dominate the construction, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and the slanted lowercase) create a forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic, with clear, blocky silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where strong emphasis and motion are desirable, such as sports branding, posters, packaging callouts, and social media advertising. In longer passages, it works most effectively for brief subheads or highlighted phrases where its dense color and slant can be used intentionally.
The overall tone is fast and confident, with a strong, sporty emphasis that reads as dynamic and no-nonsense. Its heavy presence and consistent slant give it a sense of motion and urgency, making it feel energetic and attention-grabbing rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary, forward-leaning stance, combining rounded, geometric construction with a strong display weight for immediate legibility at large sizes.
Letterforms maintain consistent stroke presence across curves and straights, favoring smooth, uninterrupted contours over sharp notches or decorative features. The lowercase shows a friendly, rounded texture while still projecting weight and momentum, and the uppercase stays clean and simplified for bold headline impact.
