A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and broad, rounded curves. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating dense silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and g, while rounds (O, Q, 0) read as squarish-oval forms with smooth joins. The overall rhythm is punchy and forward-leaning, with sturdy diagonals in K, V, W, X and a simple, utilitarian structure across the set.
Best suited for display applications where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and sports or fitness-oriented branding. It can also work on packaging or social graphics when a strong, energetic typographic voice is needed, especially at larger sizes where its tight counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and kinetic, leaning into speed and intensity through its pronounced slant and compressed, muscular forms. It feels contemporary and action-oriented, with a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a compact, forward-leaning style—combining stout, rounded construction with a pronounced slant to signal motion and strength. It prioritizes immediate visibility and a modern, performance-driven feel over delicate detail.
Numerals are thick and compact with clear, simple shapes that match the letters’ dense texture. The sample text shows strong word-shape definition at display sizes, with the slant and tight spacing contributing to a sense of momentum and urgency.
