A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, sculpted forms. Strokes stay consistently thick, with softened corners and smoothly curved bowls that create compact interior counters. The italics angle is assertive and uniform, and many joins read slightly sheared, giving the letterforms a cut, forward-leaning stance. Numerals and capitals maintain a strong, blocky silhouette with ample weight and stable baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where strong emphasis and fast readability are needed. It works well for sports and event branding, promotional graphics, packaging, and bold UI callouts, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the compact counters don’t close up.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, attention-grabbing feel. Its forward lean and dense black shapes suggest motion and impact, leaning toward bold, promotional typography rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined sans construction, combining rounded geometry with an aggressive italic stance. The goal appears to be a modern, high-energy display voice that stays clean and simple while still feeling dynamic.
Uppercase shapes are especially solid and geometric, while lowercase shows a more compact, muscular rhythm with tight apertures and counters that keep words dark and cohesive in text. The sample paragraphs emphasize a strong horizontal flow, where the consistent slant and thick strokes produce a continuous, headline-like texture.
