A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and broad, compact proportions. Strokes are thick and steady, with gently softened corners and a consistent forward slant that creates a strong sense of motion. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while round forms (O, Q, o) stay smooth and full, giving the design a clean, sculpted silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and straightforward, and the overall rhythm reads as bold blocks of black with minimal interior sparkle.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where impact and speed are desirable. It works well for athletic branding, event promotions, product packaging, and bold editorial callouts, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, lending a slightly retro, athletic feel suited to loud, upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, high-impact italic voice that feels fast and approachable. By combining rounded forms with thick strokes and a steady slant, it aims to deliver instant legibility and a strong graphic presence in short bursts of text.
At larger sizes the weight and slant deliver strong momentum and cohesion; in longer text the dense counters and heavy color can make spacing feel tight, so it benefits from generous tracking and leading when set in paragraphs.
