A heavy oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and a compact, muscular build. Strokes are uniform and dense, with softened corners and smoothly curved bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and clean, and the overall fit is tight enough to feel impactful while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and esports graphics, bold brand marks, packaging callouts, and promotional materials. It can work for subheads and short UI labels, but the density and slant make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The typeface communicates speed and assertiveness, with a distinctly contemporary, athletic tone. Its strong mass and steady slant feel promotional and action-oriented, projecting confidence and urgency without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a clean sans structure, combining heavy strokes with a consistent oblique angle to suggest momentum. It prioritizes strong silhouette, quick recognition, and a contemporary commercial feel for attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals read sturdy and geometric with generous curves in round letters, while diagonals in forms like K, V, W, X, and Z amplify the dynamic, angled texture. Numerals are similarly weighty and clear, designed to hold their shape in bold settings such as scores, pricing, and headlines.
