A heavy oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact counters. Strokes are thick and smoothly modeled, with noticeable curvature in joins and terminals that keeps the forms friendly rather than sharp. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, while many letters show slightly tucked or sheared terminals that emphasize forward motion. Spacing appears sturdy and even, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and headlines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, punchy branding, and packaging where a strong, forward-leaning display voice is needed. It also fits sports and motion-themed graphics, social media tiles, and short calls-to-action. Because of its dense weight and compact openings, it will be most effective at larger sizes rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty, high-impact voice. Rounded shapes and generous weight add a playful friendliness, while the slanted stance keeps it feeling fast and action-oriented. It reads as contemporary with a hint of retro display swagger.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed and friendliness—combining wide, heavy forms with rounded construction and a consistent oblique rhythm. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition in display settings.
Lowercase forms are simplified and robust, with single-story shapes and compact apertures that favor impact over delicacy. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, creating a cohesive typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
