A heavy, oblique sans with compact counters and broad, sturdy strokes. The letterforms lean forward with a consistent slant, using rounded, geometric bowls and smoothly curved joins while keeping apertures fairly tight. Terminals are clean and largely blunt, and the overall rhythm feels dense and blocky, with bold massing that holds together well at display sizes. Numerals match the same thick, rounded construction, emphasizing solid shapes and simplified interiors.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where immediate impact and motion are desired. It works well for sports and fitness identities, energetic packaging, and bold logo wordmarks, especially in short phrases or large-scale applications where the dense, slanted forms can breathe.
The font projects speed and impact, with a forward-leaning posture that reads as active and assertive. Its chunky geometry and tight internal spaces give it a punchy, headline-first tone associated with contemporary sports, street, and high-energy branding.
Designed to deliver a strong, forward-driving presence with simplified, geometric construction and a consistent oblique stance. The emphasis appears to be on bold visual punch, cohesive shapes, and clear silhouettes for modern display typography.
The combination of strong slant, tight apertures, and dense stroke weight creates a distinct, compact texture in paragraphs, favoring short bursts of text over long reading. Curved letters (like O/C/G) maintain a smooth, rounded feel, while diagonals and crossbars stay sturdy and simplified for a cohesive, muscular silhouette.
