A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters, drawing its forms from rounded bowls and blunt, wedge-like terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform, with curves that feel inflated and tightly controlled, giving letters a dense, poster-ready silhouette. The rhythm is energetic: diagonals are emphasized, apertures tend to be small, and curves often meet stems with smooth, softened joins rather than sharp corners. Numerals mirror the same chunky, rounded construction for a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, event promos, sports and fitness graphics, and bold brand marks. It also works for packaging callouts and social media graphics where quick impact matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, projecting a sporty, action-oriented attitude. Its rounded massing keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, while the slant adds motion and urgency—well suited to attention-grabbing, informal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sense of forward motion, using rounded, low-detail shapes and a pronounced slant to stay legible while feeling fast and contemporary.
At text sizes the weight and tight internal spaces can cause characters to visually merge, so it reads best with generous tracking or in short bursts. The slanted construction and strong black shape make it especially effective when reversed out or used as a bold typographic stamp.
