A heavy, forward-slanted sans with expanded proportions and broad, rounded counters. Stroke endings are clean and mostly squared off, while curves stay smooth and generously radiused, creating a sturdy, continuous silhouette. The overall rhythm is wide and open with compact interior detailing, and the numerals share the same chunky, aerodynamic feel as the letters for consistent color in display settings.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact matters more than quiet reading comfort. It works well for sports and event branding, promotional posters, energetic packaging, and large-format signage where the slanted, expanded shapes can project urgency and presence.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a motion-driven slant that reads as fast and competitive. Its wide stance and dense weight give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels at home in bold, promotional contexts.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed, using wide, rounded forms and a strong oblique angle to create an athletic, high-energy display voice.
Round characters like O, Q, and 8 emphasize oval geometry and strong ink coverage, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Z) look especially punchy due to the combination of width and slant. Lowercase forms maintain a simple, single-story construction where applicable, keeping the texture straightforward and legible at larger sizes.
