A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are consistently thick with softened joins and rounded curves, giving counters a tight, punchy look. The slant is pronounced and uniform, creating forward motion while maintaining clear, simple construction. Uppercase forms feel squared-off yet smooth, while the lowercase is similarly robust with short ascenders/descenders and generous weight throughout; numerals match the same bold, rounded geometry for a cohesive texture in mixed settings.
Well suited to headlines, short statements, and bold display settings where strong presence is desired. It can work effectively for branding, packaging, and event or sports-oriented graphics, especially when paired with simpler supporting text. For longer passages, extra spacing and larger sizes help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with an upbeat, kinetic feel created by the strong slant and dense color on the page. Rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it read as sporty, contemporary, and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, contemporary voice, prioritizing boldness, speed, and legibility in display contexts. The softened geometry suggests an intention to stay friendly and versatile while still reading as powerful and modern.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight counters produce a dark, compact rhythm; it performs best when given comfortable tracking and line spacing. The oblique angle is prominent enough to act as a styling cue on its own, even without additional decoration.
