A heavy oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly squared curves. Stroke weight stays consistent across bowls and diagonals, producing a smooth, low-friction rhythm with minimal modulation. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the text a dense, punchy color even at larger sizes. The italics are driven by a steady slant and sturdy joins, with clean terminals that keep edges crisp rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale messaging where impact and motion are desired. It also fits sports and active-lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from high visual presence. For longer paragraphs, it will generally work better in short emphatic passages or display-size settings where spacing can be managed.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while remaining approachable due to the rounded construction. Its strong slant and dense texture convey speed and momentum, lending an energetic, contemporary voice that reads as promotional and performance-oriented rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance, combining sturdy geometry with rounded shapes for a confident yet friendly display voice.
In sample text, the heavy weight and tight openings create a dark, continuous line, which favors short bursts of copy over airy reading. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and presence, supporting a consistent, headline-forward texture.
