A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, superellipse-like bowls and corners that keep the overall texture smooth despite the mass of the strokes. Shapes are wide and compact, with large counters that stay open at display sizes, while joins and terminals read as cleanly cut with softened edges rather than sharp points. The italic construction feels built-in (not merely obliqued), giving letters a forward-leaning rhythm and strong horizontal momentum across lines.
Best suited to large-scale applications where strong typographic color is desirable, such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics. It also fits sports branding, event materials, and punchy logo wordmarks where a fast, forward-leaning stance helps convey momentum. For longer paragraphs, it will work most effectively in short bursts, pull quotes, or display-led layouts rather than dense body copy.
The font projects an energetic, competitive tone with a strong sense of speed and impact. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable and playful, while the dense black weight and slant make it feel assertive and attention-seeking. Overall it leans toward sporty, promotional, and entertainment-driven messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that combines rounded, modern geometry with a bold, energetic stance. It aims to deliver immediate visibility and a sense of motion while keeping forms friendly through softened corners and generous internal space.
The figures are thick and stable with broad silhouettes, matching the letters’ robust color and maintaining consistent presence in mixed text. In the sample paragraph, the slant and width create a bold, continuous flow that prioritizes impact over quiet readability, especially in longer runs.
