A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and tightly contained counters. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curve-to-stem transitions, giving letters a sculpted, almost inflated silhouette. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off or softly rounded, and the overall rhythm is compact, with glyphs that feel solid and tightly built even in curved characters. Numerals follow the same weighty, rounded construction and read as sturdy, headline-oriented figures.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness identities, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works well on packaging or promotional graphics where a strong, energetic typographic block is needed, especially at larger sizes where its compact counters remain clear.
The slanted stance and dense black shapes create a sense of speed and forward motion, lending an athletic, high-impact tone. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive, while the mass and compression project confidence and urgency reminiscent of sports branding and energetic display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, motion-driven slant and robust, rounded letterforms. It prioritizes strong silhouette and energetic texture for display settings, aiming for a sporty, attention-grabbing presence in branding and advertising.
Round letters like O and Q appear notably compact inside, emphasizing ink-trap-free solidity rather than airy openness. The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the design maintains a uniform, cohesive texture in words and lines.
