A heavy oblique sans with broad proportions and dense, rounded forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving counters a compact, punched-out look and keeping terminals clean and blunt. The slant is strong and uniform, producing a forward-leaning rhythm that stays stable across caps, lowercase, and figures. Curves read as circular/elliptical and the overall color is dark and even, with spacing tuned for tight, impactful set text.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact is the priority: headlines, event posters, retail or promotional graphics, and sports or streetwear branding. It can work for subheads and callouts on packaging or digital banners, but the dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The font conveys speed and force, with a contemporary, athletic voice. Its bold, leaning silhouettes feel confident and promotional, emphasizing momentum and urgency. The rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly enough for mainstream branding while remaining unmistakably high-impact.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in an oblique, contemporary sans style, balancing geometric roundness with compact counters to create a bold, fast-moving texture. The emphasis appears to be on branding and display use where immediacy and energy are important.
Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey shapes where applicable and small apertures that increase solidity at display sizes. Numerals match the weight and slant, maintaining consistent presence in mixed alphanumeric settings.
