A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact, muscular build. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing a crisp, graphic silhouette. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, while curves are broadly rounded and corners are gently eased rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is steady and bold, with a slight forward slant that adds motion without becoming cursive.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display settings where strong presence is desired. It fits branding systems that need a bold, dynamic sans, and works well on posters, packaging, sports-related graphics, and promotional layouts where legibility and punch are both important.
The tone is energetic and assertive, combining a modern, no-nonsense clarity with a sporty sense of speed. Its forward lean and dense color give it a confident, promotional voice that feels built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, forward-moving sans for display use, balancing broad, rounded construction with an oblique stance to suggest speed and confidence. It prioritizes a solid typographic “block” on the page, aiming for immediate readability and a distinctive, athletic tone.
Capitals read sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a compact footprint with simple, utilitarian shapes. Numerals are similarly hefty and slanted, designed to hold up at large sizes where the weight and angle become part of the personality.
