A heavy, oblique sans with compact apertures and broad, rounded countershapes. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners and smoothly curved bowls that keep the texture cohesive across lines. The slant and slightly compressed inner spaces create a dense, energetic rhythm, while the lowercase shows single-storey forms and simplified joins that prioritize bold silhouette clarity. Figures are robust and rounded, with clear, simple construction suited to large-scale reading.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where a compact, high-impact texture reads quickly. It works well for sports, streetwear, and product packaging that wants motion and punch, and can also serve for short callouts or UI labels when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is punchy and high-energy, suggesting speed and impact. Its rounded, simplified shapes keep it approachable, balancing toughness with a friendly, contemporary feel. The italic posture adds motion, giving the face a confident, sporty voice.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded sans construction and an oblique stance that implies speed. The emphasis is on bold silhouette recognition and a consistent, heavy texture for display-driven typography.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight counters can visually close up in letters like a/e/s, so it benefits from generous tracking and breathing room. The strong slant makes it particularly effective for emphasis and short bursts of copy where momentum and presence are desirable.
