A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and a compact internal structure. Strokes are thick and generally uniform, with subtly rounded joins and counters that stay open despite the weight. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, producing a forward-leaning rhythm; curves are smooth and circular, while terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts that add momentum. Lowercase forms are large and sturdy, with short extenders and a tall x-height feel, and figures are wide and bold with simple, stable geometry.
Best suited to large-size typography where impact and speed are priorities: posters, bold editorial headlines, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. It can work for short subheads or UI hero text when strong emphasis is needed, but the heavy slant and dense strokes make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its forward lean and dense color give it a sense of motion and confidence, reading as modern and high-impact rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance. By combining wide, rounded construction with strong weight and clean sans geometry, it aims to stay legible while projecting energy and modernity in display contexts.
Spacing appears generous for such heavy letterforms, helping prevent dark clumping in the sample text. The mix of rounded bowls and slightly angular cuts creates a hybrid of soft and aggressive cues, making it feel both friendly and forceful at display sizes.
