A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and broadly rounded construction. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners and smooth curves that keep counters open despite the weight. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, producing a forward-leaning rhythm and tight, energetic spacing. Letterforms favor simple geometric shapes with sturdy joins and a generally squared-off, no-nonsense finish.
Best suited to display use where impact matters: headlines, short callouts, posters, and promotional graphics. It also fits sports and fitness branding, event materials, and packaging that needs fast recognition at a glance. In longer text, it works most reliably in brief bursts such as captions, labels, or emphatic pull quotes.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, with an athletic, action-oriented voice. Its strong black mass and aggressive slant give it a sense of speed and urgency, while rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
Likely designed as an italic display sans that prioritizes momentum and visibility. The goal appears to be a bold, contemporary voice with clean geometry and enough openness to remain legible at large sizes and in quick-read applications.
Uppercase forms read especially solid and poster-ready, while lowercase retains clear silhouettes and a workmanlike, utilitarian feel. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, designed to hold up in large, high-impact settings.
