A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, softened joins and broadly curved bowls. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating an even, blocky texture. Terminals are generally blunt and slightly tapered by the italic slant, while counters are relatively tight, giving letters a compact, high-impact silhouette. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a robust, geometric construction; figures are wide, round, and built to match the same dense, muscular rhythm.
Well suited to headlines and short statements where maximum impact is needed, such as posters, sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for logo wordmarks that want a fast, modern feel, especially when set with ample tracking or at display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a forward-leaning motion that reads as fast and energetic. Its rounded geometry keeps the boldness friendly rather than harsh, making it feel sporty and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a sense of motion, pairing a strong, uniform stroke with rounded forms to stay approachable. The italic stance and compact counters prioritize punch and immediacy over delicate detail.
In longer lines the strong weight and tight apertures create a dark, cohesive color, best suited to larger sizes or generous spacing. The slant is pronounced enough to imply speed, and diagonals (like V, W, X, and the 1 and 7) contribute to a dynamic, angular cadence within the otherwise rounded system.
