A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, softly squared curves and blunt terminals. The letterforms are constructed from broad strokes and large radii, producing smooth bowls and sturdy diagonals with minimal modulation. Counters are relatively compact, and apertures tend to be tight, which increases density and punch at display sizes. Overall proportions lean wide with a strong forward slant, creating a continuous right-leaning rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase; figures follow the same robust, compact-counter construction.
Best suited to bold headlines, sports identities, event posters, and promotional layouts where impact and motion are desirable. It can work well for packaging and short, emphatic statements, especially when set with ample whitespace or slightly increased letterspacing to prevent counters from filling in.
The overall tone feels athletic and high-impact, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as fast and confident. Rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, balancing strength with a friendly, contemporary energy. The silhouette also carries a slight retro headline flavor reminiscent of classic sports and advertising typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed: a thick, forward-leaning sans that stays readable and cohesive through rounded geometry and consistent, low-modulation strokes. It emphasizes presence and momentum over delicate detail, aiming squarely at display typography.
The weight and tight interior spaces make it most legible when given generous size and tracking; in long text or small sizes, the dense counters and strong slant can feel busy. Uppercase forms appear particularly stable and blocky, while lowercase maintains the same muscular texture and forward drive.
