A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and compact internal counters. Letterforms lean consistently forward and combine broad curves with blunt, slightly sheared terminals, producing a sturdy, fast-moving silhouette. The lowercase is built for impact, with large bowls and a strong, continuous rhythm; apertures stay relatively tight, and joins read thick and stable. Numerals follow the same bold, rounded logic, keeping an even, blocky presence in running text.
Best suited to display settings where bold emphasis is the goal: headlines, poster typography, sports and event branding, energetic packaging, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short subheads and callouts, but its dense forms and tight apertures make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and kinetic—more about momentum and punch than restraint. Its forward slant and dense black mass suggest speed and competitiveness, while the rounded shapes keep it friendly rather than aggressive. The result feels at home in high-energy, pop-forward contexts with a hint of vintage athletic flavor.
This design appears intended as an impact-oriented, oblique sans for attention-grabbing display typography. Its rounded geometry and blunt, sheared ends prioritize a strong silhouette and a sense of speed, supporting branding and promotional work that needs immediate visual presence.
In the sample text, the dense weight and tight counters create a strong headline texture that holds together as a unified slab of color. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to read as motion, so spacing and line breaks benefit from a bit of breathing room at larger sizes.
