A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded geometry and smooth curves paired with straight, cut terminals. Counters are open and spacious, and the joins feel sturdy and simplified, creating a solid, billboard-friendly silhouette. The lowercase shows a large core with compact ascenders/descenders, while uppercase forms are wide and stable with clean, uncluttered construction. Numerals follow the same robust rhythm, with rounded bowls and straightforward diagonals that keep the texture even in running text.
Best suited to short, prominent copy where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold promotional graphics. It can work for compact UI or labels when used sparingly, but its strong slant and wide proportions make it most effective at display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a fast, forward-leaning posture that reads as sporty and modern. Its width and weight give it a headline voice that feels promotional and energetic rather than quiet or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a streamlined, geometric sans structure and a consistent forward slant. It prioritizes bold visibility and a strong rhythmic texture for modern branding and attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Diagonal strokes (as in A, K, V, W, X, Z) look intentionally simplified and strong, and the slant is consistent across cases, helping lines of text maintain momentum. Round letters like O and Q stay very circular and prominent, contributing to a clean, geometric feel.
