A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, smoothly finished curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid counters and a dense color in text. The italics are built into the letterforms rather than added as a simple slant, with angled terminals and forward-leaning geometry that keeps shapes crisp at display sizes. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate, and the overall rhythm is punchy and cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact is the priority—posters, sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, packaging, and social media tiles. It can work for subheads or UI labels when large enough, but its density and oblique stance are most effective in display contexts.
The tone is forceful and fast-moving, with a sporty, contemporary feel. Its strong weight and forward lean suggest motion, urgency, and confidence, making it read as bold and promotional rather than quiet or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a clean sans construction, combining a very heavy weight with a built-in oblique that conveys speed and modernity. The rounded construction keeps it approachable while still reading as loud and attention-grabbing.
Round letters like O/C/G stay broadly circular, while diagonals and joins (such as in K, V, W, X, and the lowercase r) emphasize sharp, energetic angles. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the same dense, high-impact texture as the letters.
