A heavy, tightly set oblique sans with compact proportions and broad, rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, while corners are softened into superellipse-like curves that keep the shapes sturdy rather than sharp. The italic slant is pronounced and uniform, with wide, flat terminals and dense spacing that creates a strong horizontal push. Numerals and capitals are tall and weighty, with pragmatic geometry and rounded joins that prevent the texture from becoming brittle at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, promotional headlines, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and bold wayfinding-style signage. It performs particularly well in short lines, banners, and emphatic typographic statements where a dense, forward-leaning silhouette helps grab attention quickly.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, action-oriented feel. Its combination of mass and slant reads as fast, loud, and confident—more “headline” than “reading.” Rounded corners add a slightly friendly, contemporary touch that tempers the aggression of the weight.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, pairing a strong oblique stance with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, high-energy voice. The softened geometry suggests a goal of staying contemporary and approachable while still reading as powerful and performance-driven.
The face maintains a compact rhythm with relatively tight apertures and sturdy bowls, producing a dark, continuous typographic color. The oblique angle and condensed build make it especially effective when set in short bursts where speed and punch matter more than nuance.
