A heavy, extended sans with a pronounced rightward slant and large, open counters. Letterforms are built from broad, smooth curves and firm straight strokes, producing a clean geometric feel despite the strong italic posture. Terminals are largely blunt and squared off, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce forward motion. Curves on bowls and numerals are generous and round, while apertures tend to be compact, creating a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, event graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense color and tight apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a fast, forward-leaning stance that reads as sporty and assertive. Its mass and width give it a loud, attention-grabbing presence suited to performance-oriented or competitive messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines geometric roundness with an emphatic italic stance for speed and intensity. Its extended build and heavy strokes aim to maximize presence and legibility in attention-driven layouts.
In the sample text the weight and extended proportions create a very dark typographic color, and the slant makes lines feel like they are in motion. The rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with rounded forms balancing the blocky terminals for a controlled, muscular look.
