A heavy, slanted sans with rounded curves and compact proportions. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and largely uniform weight, giving the letters a solid, simplified silhouette. Counters are relatively tight (notably in a, e, s, and 8), and terminals are clean and blunt rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric, while lowercase shapes stay compact with modest ascenders/descenders, creating a dense, energetic rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where impact and urgency matter. It works well in posters, promotional graphics, packaging, and sports-themed identities, and can hold up in bold subheads where a compact, energetic texture is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-paced, with a contemporary, athletic feel. The forward slant and weight convey momentum and confidence, reading as attention-grabbing and promotional rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern voice with a sense of motion, balancing geometric simplicity with a dense, powerful color on the page for high-visibility display use.
Numerals are broad and sturdy with clear, rounded bowls, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive headlines. The italic angle is consistent across cases, helping mixed-case settings feel unified and driving a strong left-to-right flow.
