A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and tightly packed counters that create strong, dark typographic color. Curves are round and full, while joins and terminals show crisp, slightly sheared cuts that reinforce forward motion. The stroke weight feels consistent across the alphabet, with minimal modulation and sturdy bowls in letters like O, C, and G. Spacing appears on the tight side in text, producing a compact, high-impact rhythm suited to short lines and large sizes.
Best suited for big, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports-oriented branding where impact and motion matter. It can work well on packaging and promotional materials that need a condensed block of strong black shapes. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading and tracking.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, headline-driven voice. Its slanted stance and dense silhouettes suggest speed and urgency, giving it a bold, attention-grabbing presence. The rounded construction keeps it approachable even as it reads loud and forceful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, combining rounded, geometric forms with a pronounced forward slant and firm, angular terminals. It prioritizes presence and immediacy over delicate detail, aiming for bold display performance in branding and promotional typography.
In the sample paragraph the weight and slant produce strong horizontal flow, while compact apertures and counters can begin to close up as size decreases. Numerals share the same stout, rounded construction and look designed to hold their shape in impactful display settings.
