A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in its curves. Strokes are dense and relatively uniform, with tight internal counters and softened corners that keep the forms from feeling brittle. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and many terminals are cleanly sheared, reinforcing a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase appears compact with a tall feel and sturdy joins, while numerals are blocky and punchy with clear, simplified shapes.
Best suited for display work where strong presence is needed: sports and fitness branding, event posters, promotional graphics, apparel marks, and bold packaging titles. It can also work for short UI or in-app promotional headings where a compact, energetic voice is desired, but is less suited to long-form text due to its dense color and tight counters.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, projecting speed and impact. Its forward angle and compact apertures suggest motion and intensity, while the rounded geometry adds a contemporary, engineered friendliness rather than a harsh industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, high-impact sans for attention-grabbing typography, combining a consistent oblique stance with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, engineered look.
At text sizes the weight and tight counters create a strong dark color, so spacing and line length will matter for readability. In display settings the bold silhouette and consistent slant create a cohesive, high-impact texture well suited to short bursts of copy.
