A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, oval-based bowls and visibly tapered joins that create a punchy, high-energy texture. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and frequent triangular terminals, giving letters a cut, accelerated look rather than purely geometric uniformity. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with tight internal spaces in letters like a/e/s that still read cleanly at display sizes. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing an uneven, lively rhythm that emphasizes motion.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short subheads or emphasis in editorial layouts, but the dense weight and slant make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The tone is bold and forward-moving, with an athletic, action-oriented feel. Its slant and sharpened terminals suggest speed and urgency, while the rounded cores keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result reads as confident and attention-seeking, leaning toward sporty and slightly retro headline styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, using a strong slant, wedge terminals, and thick–thin modulation to create a vigorous, competitive voice. Its rounded underlying forms keep the shapes familiar and legible while the cut terminals add edge and momentum.
Capitals are broad and sturdy, with simple construction and minimal ornamentation; diagonals (A/K/V/W/X/Y) feel especially aggressive due to the wedge-like endings. Numerals match the italicized, heavy voice, with the 8 and 9 showing pronounced internal contrast and compact counters. The sample text indicates strongest performance at large sizes where the modulation and tight counters are less likely to fill in.
