A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions, compact counters, and smoothly rounded curves. The strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly blunt or softly cut, giving a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Round letters (O, C, G, e, o) read as near-circular with tightened apertures, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are wide and stable, reinforcing a strong forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms with bold, simplified shapes and generous weight, maintaining a cohesive texture in headline settings.
Best suited to display typography where impact is the priority: sports and team branding, promotional headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work well on packaging and signage where high contrast against the background and quick recognition are needed. Use with ample tracking and line spacing when setting longer phrases to keep counters from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, modern feel that suggests speed and impact. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel bold and upbeat. The italic slant adds motion and a sense of momentum suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
Designed to deliver a fast, powerful presence through a forward slant, broad proportions, and simplified, rounded shapes. The letterforms aim for immediate legibility at large sizes while projecting confidence and motion, typical of branding and promotional typography.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight internal spaces favor short lines and display use over long reading. The wide stance and strong diagonals help maintain clarity in all-caps, while lowercase remains sturdy and compact with a clear, contemporary rhythm.
