A heavy, slanted sans with chunky, rounded shapes and tight internal counters. The letterforms lean consistently forward, with broadly uniform stroke weight and smooth curves that are cut by firm, angled terminals. Proportions are expansive and blocky, with short ascenders/descenders and a sturdy, compact rhythm; the overall spacing reads dense and energetic, especially in the numerals and rounded capitals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, packaging callouts, and energetic event graphics. It performs well when set large, where the dense weight and slanted forms can read clearly and deliver maximum presence.
The tone is bold and extroverted, with a bouncy, playful swagger that feels sporty and attention-seeking. Its forward lean and dense black mass give it a sense of momentum and immediacy, while the rounded construction keeps the voice approachable rather than severe.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a forward-driving, athletic feel, pairing rounded geometry with aggressive angled terminals to create a lively, attention-grabbing voice for display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G and the numerals emphasize tight counters, which increases visual impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The angled cuts and slant create a strong directional flow across lines, making word shapes feel dynamic and slightly compressed.
