A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Strokes are thick with subtle contrast and smooth joins, creating dense interior counters and a compact, high-impact texture. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce the forward slant. The overall rhythm is bold and steady, and the figures match the letters with similarly weighty, rounded construction and clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best used for display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and bold brand moments. It suits sports and active-lifestyle branding, attention-demanding packaging, and large-scale signage. For longer passages, it works most comfortably in short bursts such as taglines, pull quotes, and section headers.
The tone is energetic and emphatic, with a forward-driving slant that reads as fast and competitive. Its weight and width give it a loud, promotional presence, while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it feels contemporary and action-oriented, suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed and momentum. Wide proportions, rounded shapes, and a strong slant combine to make messages feel urgent and modern while maintaining a friendly, graphic simplicity.
In running text the dark color dominates, producing a strong headline voice and reduced whitespace within and between letters. The slant and wide set create a sense of motion, while the uniform heaviness keeps the line visually cohesive. Letterforms remain clean and legible in short phrases, especially where spacing is generous.
