A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, dark letterforms and strong color in text. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tightened, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than flared. The overall construction leans geometric, with circular forms in O/C and sturdy diagonals in V/W/X, creating a stable, forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a bold, forward-leaning voice is needed—such as sports and activewear identity, posters, signage, and impactful packaging. It can work for brief callouts or subheads in editorial layouts, but the dense texture and tight counters make it less comfortable for extended small-size reading.
The strong slant and dense weight give the face a fast, confident tone that reads as energetic and competitive. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, prioritizing impact and momentum over delicacy or nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, geometric sans construction and an oblique stance that implies speed and emphasis. Its consistent stroke weight and broad shapes suggest a focus on strong display performance and branding presence.
At display sizes it retains clear silhouettes and a consistent slanted texture, while the tight interior spaces can make long passages feel intense and compressed. Numerals match the letters in heft and softness of curvature, keeping the set cohesive for headline use.
