A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and uniform with subtly softened corners, producing a superelliptical, blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, especially in rounded letters, which emphasizes mass and impact at display sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins show slight notches and wedge-like cut-ins that read as functional ink-trap details rather than decorative flourishes. Numerals follow the same robust, condensed rhythm with stable, upright interiors and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for editorial promo lines and social graphics where a compact, forward-leaning texture helps maintain urgency and presence.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and immediacy. Its dense black shape and rounded geometry give it a contemporary, sporty feel—confident rather than delicate, and geared toward attention-grabbing messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded-rectilinear skeleton and a consistent italic drive. The letterforms prioritize solidity, speed, and strong silhouette recognition in display contexts.
The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a strong directional flow in text. Spacing appears intentionally tight, and the narrow counters mean small sizes may fill in, while large sizes emphasize the font’s solid, graphic presence.
