A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded bowls. Strokes remain even and low in contrast, with crisp terminals and a consistent forward slant that keeps the texture lively. Counters are open and relatively generous for the weight, and curves read cleanly with a slightly squared-off, geometric feel in places. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, maintaining a solid, uniform rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and prominent UI or editorial callouts where a strong, slanted sans can signal motion and emphasis. It can work effectively in branding and packaging that needs a bold, modern presence, especially in sports, fitness, or tech-adjacent contexts.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a contemporary, sporty voice. Its forward lean and strong mass project momentum and confidence, making it feel active rather than formal. Despite the weight, the rounded construction keeps it approachable and friendly.
The design appears intended as a robust, modern oblique for impactful display typography, prioritizing strong readability and a sense of speed. Its geometric, rounded construction suggests an aim for a clean contemporary look while keeping the tone approachable and versatile.
The italic is clearly constructed rather than cursive: letters keep a printed, geometric structure with consistent angles and spacing. The sample text shows strong word shapes and a dark, stable color that holds together well at display sizes.
