A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and large, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and squared-off, giving the forms a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Curves are built from smooth, rounded geometry, while joins stay crisp and tight, producing a compact rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” a small-shouldered “r,” and generally simplified construction that favors clarity over detail.
Best suited to display applications where strong emphasis is needed, such as headlines, posters, and campaign graphics. It can work well for sports and fitness branding, energetic packaging, and social or promotional layouts where a compact, high-impact texture is an advantage. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable in short bursts—taglines, callouts, and UI emphasis text.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a confident, athletic feel. Its combination of mass and slant reads as assertive and contemporary, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe. The result is a punchy voice suited to attention-grabbing, upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through simplified, geometric letterforms and a pronounced forward slant. Its sturdy construction and clean terminals prioritize bold presence and quick recognition in branding and advertising contexts.
In the sample text, the dense weight and slant create strong word shapes and a pronounced horizontal momentum. Spacing appears relatively tight at display sizes, reinforcing a compact, impactful texture. Numerals are bold and rounded, designed to match the letterforms’ solid, uniform color.
