A heavy oblique sans with compact, slightly condensed-feeling silhouettes and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and weighty, with softened joins and terminals that keep the letterforms smooth rather than sharp. Counters are relatively small and the curves tend toward squarish, superellipse-like bowls, giving round letters a sturdy, block-built look. The lowercase has sturdy, wide-shouldered shapes and a single-storey “a,” while numerals are bold and straightforward with consistent proportions.
Best suited to attention-grabbing applications such as posters, event graphics, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and promotional headlines. It also works well for large-scale signage or social graphics where bold, slanted emphasis helps convey motion and urgency.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, reading like a headline voice built for speed and impact. Its slanted stance and dense color create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough to avoid feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance and sturdy, rounded construction, prioritizing instant recognition and a strong typographic “hit” in display settings.
In longer text it creates a strong, dark typographic texture, so spacing and line length matter—its compact counters and heavy strokes favor short bursts over extended reading. The italic angle is prominent and consistent, helping it feel unified across caps, lowercase, and figures.
