A very heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a lively forward rhythm. Letterforms are built from broad, rounded strokes with smooth joins and generous internal counters, while many apertures stay relatively closed, keeping the texture dense. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall geometry leans toward oval curves rather than sharp corners, giving the face a sturdy, streamlined look. The numerals match the weight and slant, with a particularly bold, poster-like presence.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, sports and fitness identities, promotional graphics, posters, and bold packaging. It can work for short UI labels or badges where emphasis is needed, but it’s most effective when given room and set at medium-to-large sizes.
The combination of extreme weight and forward slant gives the font a forceful, energetic tone. It reads as assertive and action-oriented, with a modern, athletic feel that emphasizes momentum and impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning voice—prioritizing bold presence and momentum for branding and display typography. Its rounded construction and consistent, heavy forms aim for a confident, contemporary look that holds up well in attention-grabbing compositions.
In longer text, the dense color and closed openings can reduce clarity at small sizes, but the strong counters help maintain recognizability. The slant and weight create a pronounced horizontal flow, making short lines and headlines feel dynamic and urgent.
