A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, engineered curves. Letterforms are built from thick strokes with compact internal counters, giving a dense, high-ink silhouette. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in O/Q/C/G), while diagonals and joins feel sturdy and slightly squared-off, producing a confident, blocky rhythm. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, and the overall spacing reads tight and punchy at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact messaging where its mass and slant can do the work. It fits sports and fitness branding, bold retail and packaging moments, and punchy advertising or social graphics, especially when set with generous leading and clear contrast against the background.
The font communicates motion and force, with an athletic, no-nonsense attitude. Its slanted stance and compact counters create a sense of speed and urgency that feels contemporary and attention-driven rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic forward lean, pairing rounded geometric bowls with robust joins for a modern, athletic display voice. It prioritizes visual weight, speed, and clarity in large-scale applications over fine detail or text-setting neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, unified construction, and the numerals match the same solid, forward-leaning tone. The density of the forms makes it most legible when given enough size and breathing room; at smaller sizes the counters may close up visually.
