A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals read clean and mostly square-cut, giving a sturdy, contemporary texture. Counters are relatively compact (notably in letters like B, P, and e), while rounded forms like O and C stay open and stable. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with strong diagonals and a clear, geometric construction that holds up well at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short-form messaging where impact matters—such as posters, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It can also work for logo wordmarks and large UI banners, but its dense weight makes it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its pronounced slant and dense color project motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. Overall it feels modern and confident, suited to attention-grabbing communication.
This design appears intended to deliver high-impact, fast-moving typography: a bold, slanted sans that reads as contemporary and athletic, optimized for display use and strong visual emphasis.
The numeral set matches the same robust, slanted construction, with large, clear silhouettes designed for quick recognition. In text settings the weight creates a strong typographic color, so generous spacing and short line lengths help maintain clarity.
