A heavy, oblique sans with chunky strokes and broadly rounded bowls paired with crisp, angled terminals. The letterforms are compact in their openings and counters, with a slightly squared-off, engineered feel despite the overall round construction. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with a single-storey a and a broad, closed e. Numerals are similarly robust and compact, designed to hold their shape at large sizes and under strong contrast between black type and white background.
Best suited for bold display settings such as sports identity, event posters, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where impact is the priority. It can work for short, attention-grabbing lines of text, but the dense color and compact counters make it less ideal for long passages or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, leaning toward athletic and action-oriented branding. Its strong forward slant and dense black texture suggest motion and urgency, giving headlines a confident, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance, combining geometric roundness with sharp cuts for a sense of speed. It prioritizes bold presence and clear silhouette recognition in display typography.
The pronounced slant, tight apertures, and thick joins create a dark, continuous rhythm in text, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing. Curves stay smooth and consistent, but many terminals end in sharp, directional cuts that reinforce a fast, engineered impression.
