A heavy, strongly slanted sans with expanded proportions and rounded, compact counters. Strokes are broadly uniform with smooth curves and blunt terminals, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette. The italic construction feels built-in rather than a simple slant: bowls and joins keep their shape while the overall rhythm leans forward. Spacing is open enough to keep large sizes readable, while the wide set gives letters a stretched, banner-like presence.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and large-scale display where its width and slant can add momentum and impact. It fits sports and fitness branding, event posters, bold packaging, and energetic social graphics. For longer text, it works most comfortably in brief blocks or pull quotes where the strong angle remains a feature rather than a distraction.
The font projects speed and confidence, with a forward-leaning, punchy tone that reads as sporty and promotional. Its wide stance and thick forms feel loud and attention-seeking, suited to energetic messaging rather than subtle typography.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines a built-in italic attitude with broad, rounded forms for maximum visibility. Its proportions and weight aim to create a fast, contemporary presence that holds up in bold, attention-driven applications.
Round letters like O and Q read as squarish-oval forms, and the numerals mirror the same broad, weighty construction for consistent texture. In paragraphs, the strong oblique angle creates a dynamic line flow and a pronounced typographic “tilt,” which becomes a key part of the voice.
