A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, compact counters and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes stay essentially monoline, producing a dense, dark texture, while curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth and broadly circular. Terminals read clean and blunt rather than tapered, and many letters show slightly closed apertures that reinforce the solid, blocky color. The lowercase is built around a tall x-height with sturdy bowls and short extenders, giving the font a big, poster-ready presence and consistent rhythm across lines.
Best suited to short, bold statements such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where strong typographic color is an asset. It also fits sporty branding, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and social media creatives that benefit from an energetic, forward-leaning voice.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a fast, athletic slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its weight and rounded forms feel contemporary and friendly, while the tight, compact shapes keep it loud and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a streamlined sans structure, combining a pronounced slant and heavy weight for speed and emphasis while keeping forms rounded and consistent for a modern, accessible feel.
Figures are similarly chunky and italicized, matching the alphabet’s mass and maintaining strong legibility at display sizes. The sample text shows a very even, dark typographic color, with counters that remain readable despite the density.
