A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and a sturdy, compact build. Strokes are thick and consistent with gently rounded joins and corners that keep the weight from feeling harsh. Bowls and rounds lean toward squarish-oval shapes, producing tighter counters in letters like B, D, O, and P, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Z create a fast, directional rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with simplified terminals and a single-storey ‘g’, and the numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction for strong headline legibility.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, poster titles, product branding, and promotional graphics. It can work well for sports and fitness-themed visuals, packaging callouts, and bold UI banners, where the strong slant helps convey momentum and emphasis.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty, promotional feel. The pronounced slant and dense color make it feel urgent and action-oriented, while the softened geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as contemporary and high-impact, suited to messaging that wants to feel bold and in-motion.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance. The letterforms prioritize bold, simplified geometry and consistent mass to stay legible under heavy weight while projecting speed and confidence.
Spacing appears tight and the internal counters are relatively small, which increases darkness and presence at display sizes. The forms maintain a consistent, cohesive texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing blocky clarity over delicate detail.
