This typeface is a heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly squared forms. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible modulation, producing solid silhouettes and compact interior counters. Curves are built from smooth arcs and generous bowls, while joins and terminals feel slightly blunted rather than sharp, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered look. Spacing appears fairly tight at display sizes, with an energetic rhythm created by the forward lean and wide letterforms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong presence and quick recognition are priorities. It works well for sports and active-lifestyle identities, apparel graphics, packaging, and promotional campaigns that benefit from a dynamic, forward-driving voice. For longer text, it will be most effective in short bursts (pull quotes, labels, UI highlights) where its weight and tight counters won’t feel overwhelming.
The overall tone is punchy and athletic, combining friendliness with a strong, assertive presence. Its rounded geometry and bold massing read as approachable, while the italic slant adds motion and urgency. The vibe leans slightly retro, reminiscent of classic sports and promotional lettering.
The design intention appears to be a bold, motion-driven display sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry while delivering maximum impact through heavy strokes and wide proportions. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified forms suggest it was drawn to reproduce cleanly at large sizes and to maintain a strong, cohesive texture in branding and advertising settings.
The lowercase shows single-storey constructions (notably for a and g), which keeps the texture simple and graphic. Numerals are similarly weighty and compact, matching the letters’ dense, impact-focused color. The forward slant is pronounced enough to signal emphasis even without additional styling.
