A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded bowls and blunt terminals. The strokes maintain an even, low-contrast feel, with generous curves in C/G/O/Q and compact apertures that keep counters tight and dark. Uppercase forms read wide and stable, while lowercase shows a slightly more compact, utilitarian construction (single-storey a, simple g, short-armed r) that reinforces a dense, energetic rhythm. Numerals are bold and chunky, with smooth curves and simplified joins that prioritize impact over finesse.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and marketing copy where bold presence is the priority. It works well for sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and emphatic UI labels or buttons, especially when set large enough to keep interior counters from filling in visually.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, leaning toward athletic and promotional messaging. The italic slant adds speed and urgency, while the weight and tight counters create a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of motion: heavy strokes, rounded forms, and a consistent slant combine to create fast, assertive typography for attention-driven communication.
The design relies on strong silhouette clarity and rounded geometry, producing a solid “inked-in” texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears tuned for display and short bursts of text, with a compact feel that can look intense at smaller sizes.
