A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Letterforms are built from rounded, geometric bowls paired with firm, flattened terminals and wedge-like joins, creating a strong forward-leaning rhythm. Curves stay smooth and full (notably in C, O, Q, and S), while diagonals are crisp and slightly sheared, giving a dynamic, slanted silhouette. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g with sturdy, simplified shapes, and the numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction for a consistent texture in display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its mass and slant can carry energy: headlines, posters, sports and team branding, packaging callouts, and event or social campaign graphics. It also works well for short subheads or emphatic UI labels when space is limited and strong emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is punchy and fast, with an athletic, headline-driven confidence. The italic angle and compact counters add urgency and momentum, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, athletic voice, using rounded geometry and simplified construction to stay legible and cohesive in bold display settings.
Tight apertures and dense black areas make the face feel impactful and poster-ready, though fine details (like the small notch in the lowercase t and the compact e) visually merge at smaller sizes. The ampersand in the sample text reads bold and simplified, matching the font’s blocky, high-impact character.
