A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and a compact, muscular build. Curves are smooth and geometric, with generous rounding in bowls and terminals that keeps the dense weight feeling approachable. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be narrowed, producing strong dark shapes and a tight rhythm in text. The overall silhouette is slightly condensed in the glyph bodies while maintaining broad, sturdy strokes, with numerals and capitals designed for bold, attention-grabbing settings.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and campaign messaging where a bold, forward-leaning presence is desired. It can work effectively in sports branding, product packaging, and display-first UI moments (hero banners, promotional tiles) where legibility at large sizes and visual punch are priorities.
The tone is assertive and energetic, reading as modern and action-oriented while staying friendly due to its rounded forms. It evokes sports and promotional typography—confident, loud, and straightforward rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans that combines geometric roundness with an oblique stance to convey speed and impact. Its forms prioritize strong silhouettes and immediate readability over fine detail, targeting high-visibility branding and promotional typography.
In the sample text, the italic angle and dense weight create strong forward motion and high impact at larger sizes. Smaller sizes may feel darker because of the tight counters and closely packed interior spaces, so generous tracking or leading can help maintain clarity in longer lines.
