A very heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and compact internal counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves and subtly squared terminals that create a sturdy, engineered look. The rhythm is tight and impactful, with slightly condensed-feeling shapes in places and clear, simplified geometry throughout.
Works best for bold headlines, short statements, and branding moments where speed and impact are desirable—such as sports and fitness identities, product packaging, posters, social graphics, and promotional signage. It can also serve in UI or editorial callouts when used at larger sizes, where the tight counters and heavy strokes remain clear.
This typeface projects a confident, high-energy tone with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Its heavy presence feels assertive and promotional, with a friendly, modern softness that keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended for strong, immediate emphasis while maintaining clean, geometric readability. The slant and dense weight suggest a focus on motion and urgency, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet text settings.
The uppercase has a solid, billboard-like stance with rounded bowls and strong diagonals, while the lowercase maintains a compact, muscular texture that reads as cohesive in blocks of text. Numerals are similarly weighty and simplified, matching the overall blunt, high-impact voice.
