A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded bowls and softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling harsh. Strokes are broadly uniform with subtle modulation, and counters stay relatively open for the weight. Curves are built from clean, circular geometry, while terminals tend to end on angled cuts that reinforce the forward motion. Overall spacing is on the tight, compact side, producing a strong, blocky texture in text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that need an immediate, forceful voice. It also fits sports and performance-driven themes, as well as packaging or promotional graphics where bold, italic emphasis is desirable. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable in short bursts such as pull quotes, subheads, or large-size display copy.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning rhythm that feels sporty and action-oriented. Its rounded construction adds a friendly edge, but the mass and slant keep it firmly in bold, attention-grabbing territory.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a brisk, italic stance while staying clean and contemporary. Rounded geometry and open counters aim to preserve clarity at display sizes, balancing aggression with approachability.
In continuous text the heavy weight creates a dark typographic color, so it reads best when given generous size or leading. The numerals match the same slanted, rounded construction, maintaining a consistent, graphic presence alongside letters.
