A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact, tightly packed counters. Curves are built from smooth, near-geometric rounds, while joins and terminals are cut with crisp, angled shears that reinforce the slanted momentum. The stroke weight stays visually even, giving the face a solid, blocky color in text, and the overall rhythm is dense and energetic with minimal interior whitespace.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short promotional copy where dense black coverage and a forward slant add impact. It can work well for branding systems that want an energetic, athletic voice, as well as packaging and signage that benefit from bold, quickly recognizable letterforms.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, combining athletic urgency with a friendly, approachable roundness. Its strong mass and forward lean read as promotional and action-oriented, suited to messaging that needs to feel fast, loud, and confident without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended as a high-impact oblique sans that prioritizes immediacy and visibility. Rounded construction keeps it approachable, while the sheared terminals and dense forms emphasize speed and strength for display-driven typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity at display sizes, with the italic angle and angled terminals creating a consistent directional flow. Numerals follow the same bold, rounded construction and maintain a sturdy, poster-like presence.
