A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded construction. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with softened curves and squared-off terminals that feel clean rather than sharp. Counters are relatively tight in letters like O, P, and a, and the overall set has a compact, muscular texture suited to large sizes. The italic angle is consistent and gives the forms a forward-leaning, kinetic rhythm without introducing calligraphic contrast.
Best suited to display settings where impact and immediacy matter: headlines, posters, sports or streetwear branding, packaging callouts, and bold promotional copy. It can also work for short UI labels or signage at larger sizes where its dense weight and tight counters remain clear.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, promotional energy. Its bold mass and forward slant read as active and contemporary, leaning toward attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful display voice: a rounded, sturdy sans pushed into an oblique stance for motion and emphasis, optimized for bold statements and brand-forward typography.
Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, maintaining a cohesive silhouette across the set. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), reinforcing an informal, modern feel. Spacing in the samples reads tight and dense, contributing to a strong headline block and emphasizing the font’s compact, emphatic color.
