A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, swollen curves. Strokes are robust with moderately tightened apertures and compact counters, giving letters a dense, high-impact silhouette. Many joins show sharp internal notches and small cut-ins that read like ink-trap-like detailing, while terminals are clean and brisk, often ending in angled slices that reinforce the forward motion. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in width, producing a muscular, display-driven texture in words and lines.
Best used for headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and speed cues are desirable, such as sports identities, event graphics, and bold packaging. It also works for short logo words and taglines, while long passages or small UI text may require extra spacing for clarity.
The tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, retro-leaning swagger. Its bold slant and chunky curves create a feeling of motion and confidence, suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning stance, combining rounded geometry with aggressive cut-ins to keep heavy shapes crisp. The intent appears to be a modern display sans that feels fast and promotional without relying on decorative flourishes.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions with simplified shapes, and the numerals share the same hefty, rounded build for consistent color. The italic angle is strong enough to read as intentionally dynamic, and the tight internal spaces mean it benefits from generous tracking at smaller sizes.
