A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and strongly filled-in shapes. Strokes are uniform and weighty, with rounded outer curves and compact internal counters that keep letters feeling dense and forceful. The slant is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, creating forward motion; bowls and rounds (O/C/G/e) read as smooth, elliptical forms, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are sturdy and emphatic. Numerals match the letters’ mass and width, with large forms and simplified, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact applications such as headlines, event posters, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where dense color and motion are assets. It can work for brief subheads or labels, but extended paragraphs may feel heavy due to the tight counters and strong slant.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a sporty, performance-driven feel with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence. Its forward lean and dense color lend urgency and momentum, making it feel confident and attention-seeking rather than quiet or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance, prioritizing immediacy and brand presence. Its simplified, rounded geometry and dense weight aim for clear recognition at a glance, especially in display and marketing contexts.
At text sizes it produces a very dark typographic color, and the tight counters can reduce interior clarity in letters like a/e/s and numerals such as 8/9. The uppercase has a strong headline posture, while the lowercase remains robust and compact, reinforcing a consistent, high-impact rhythm across mixed-case settings.
