A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with softly rounded joins and terminals, giving the shapes a smooth, inflated feel rather than a sharp industrial one. Curves are built from wide ovals and circular segments, while straight strokes lean forward with a steady, uniform slant. Letterforms show slightly tight apertures (notably in C/S and lowercase forms) and sturdy bowls, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. Numerals match the letterforms with robust, rounded construction and the same forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and large-scale messaging where a bold, fast-moving voice is needed. It can work well for sports branding, event promotion, and packaging that benefits from a strong silhouette and quick recognition. In longer passages it will read best at larger sizes with generous line spacing due to its dense counters and heavy color.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its forward slant and dense black shapes suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The look leans contemporary with a nod to classic athletic and promo typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed: wide, rounded forms paired with an oblique stance to communicate motion and confidence. It prioritizes a strong, cohesive silhouette and a smooth, modern finish for display-led typography.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create a strong diagonal flow line-to-line, and spacing appears designed for impact rather than airiness. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel where applicable, reinforcing a clean, modern reading rhythm at larger sizes.
