A heavy oblique sans with uniform, low-contrast strokes and rounded rectangular construction in its curves. The letterforms feel tightly built and forward-leaning, with broad, sturdy stems and compact apertures that create dense, high-impact word shapes. Rounds (like O, C, G) read as squarish superellipse forms, while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt rather than tapered. The lowercase is tall and robust, with simplified shapes and a strong, consistent rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where impact and speed are priorities: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, and bold signage. It also works well for packaging callouts and short emphatic statements, as well as large numerals in scoreboards or pricing.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a strong sense of motion from the slant and weight. It carries a sporty, headline-driven attitude that feels contemporary and attention-seeking rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, athletic stance and sturdy, rounded geometry. Its simplified, uniform stroke behavior suggests a focus on bold readability and strong brand presence rather than typographic nuance.
Counters are relatively tight and the weight is visually dominant, which helps create solid silhouettes but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals match the letterforms in heft and rounding, keeping the set cohesive for scorelines, pricing, and short data bursts.
