A heavy oblique sans with rounded outer curves, blunt terminals, and broadly consistent stroke thickness. The slant is pronounced and steady, creating a forward-leaning rhythm while keeping counters relatively open for the weight. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy with simplified, geometric shaping; bowls and rounds (C, G, O, Q) feel smooth and slightly squarish in their curvature. Lowercase shows a large, sturdy build with single-storey a and g and short, thick joins; the numerals match the same dense, athletic color and soft-cornered geometry.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, sports and event graphics, packaging, and promotional typography where strong presence and momentum are needed. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense weight and slant are most effective at larger sizes and in brief runs of text.
The overall tone is bold and forward, reading as fast, confident, and impact-driven. Its oblique stance and dense blackness give it a sporty, promotional feel suited to high-energy messaging rather than quiet editorial text.
This design appears intended as a high-impact oblique sans for display use, emphasizing speed and immediacy through a consistent slant, compact proportions, and rounded geometric construction.
Diagonal strokes and angled terminals reinforce the sense of motion, while the rounded corners keep the weight from feeling sharp or aggressive. Spacing appears tuned for display: letters sit tightly and form strong word-shapes, especially in all-caps and headline settings.
