A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Forms are built from thick, low-contrast strokes with rounded curves and flattened terminals that read as clean and geometric rather than calligraphic. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, giving letters a dense, poster-friendly texture, while the italic angle adds strong directional motion. Numerals and capitals follow the same sturdy construction, with simple, high-impact silhouettes intended to hold up at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale typography, and short bursts of text where impact matters most—posters, event graphics, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and punchy web hero text. It can also work for labels and UI callouts when set with generous spacing and kept above small text sizes.
The overall tone feels athletic and promotional, with a sense of speed and assertiveness. Its dense weight and strong slant push it toward energetic, attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet reading. The rounded geometry keeps it approachable even while it stays bold and commanding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a streamlined, contemporary sans structure, using a pronounced slant and compact counters to communicate speed and intensity. It prioritizes bold, unmistakable silhouettes for display typography and brand-forward applications.
At display sizes the letterforms read clearly as solid shapes, but the tight counters and heavy joins can make small sizes feel crowded. The mix of straight cuts and rounded bowls creates a pragmatic, contemporary look that leans toward signage and headline settings.
