A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and pronounced ink traps/soft notches where strokes join. The shapes lean forward with a consistent italic angle, and counters stay relatively open despite the weight. Terminals are generally blunt and slightly softened, giving a molded, aerodynamic feel rather than a sharp geometric cut. Spacing appears compact and the overall silhouette is wide and blocky, producing strong dark mass in text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where impact matters—sports and fitness branding, event posters, bold packaging, and energetic social graphics. In longer passages it will feel dense, but it can work for short subheads when ample size and spacing are available.
The tone is bold and assertive with a sporty, action-forward attitude. Its chunky curves and soft corners keep it friendly and approachable, while the forward slant adds urgency and momentum.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a forward-leaning, dynamic stance, pairing heavy strokes with rounded construction for a friendly but forceful presence in display typography.
Lowercase shows sturdy, single-storey constructions (notably a and g) that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the letters’ stance and density for cohesive headline setting.
