A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and compact proportions. Strokes stay largely uniform, giving the letters a solid, blocky color, while corners are softly eased rather than sharply squared. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and spacing feels tight-to-moderate, emphasizing a dense, energetic rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and simple, lowercase uses single-storey shapes (notably the a and g), and numerals are sturdy and open with clear counters.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact settings such as sports branding, event promotions, poster headlines, and bold product or packaging callouts. It can also work for UI or app headers where an emphatic, fast-moving tone is desired, though its dense weight favors larger sizes over long reading.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, sporty feel. Its dark, compact texture reads as direct and forceful, suggesting motion and urgency without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean sans structure, combining a consistent oblique angle with rounded geometry to communicate speed, strength, and modern simplicity.
Round letters like O/Q and curved bowls (B/P/R) keep generous interior space for a heavy style, helping prevent clogging at display sizes. Diagonals and joins (K, R, V, W, X) feel robust and slightly compressed, reinforcing a strong, athletic silhouette.
