A heavy, tightly set oblique sans with compact proportions and broadly rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are robust and even, with minimal modulation and clean, open counters that stay readable under the weight. Terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharp, and the overall construction feels slightly squared-off in the bowls and shoulders, giving a sturdy, engineered look. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, producing a fast forward rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase, with lining figures that match the same dense, athletic stance.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where impact and speed are desired—posters, sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for large-format signage or UI hero moments where a compact, high-energy typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and momentum. Its thick, compact shapes read as confident and loud, leaning toward contemporary sports, action, and promotional voice rather than quiet editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a compact footprint while preserving clarity through open counters and consistent stroke weight. The rounded-rectilinear construction and strong oblique angle aim to communicate motion and contemporary strength for attention-driven display typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape impact at display sizes, with the slant helping create a continuous left-to-right flow. Rounded corners and squared curves keep the texture from feeling jagged despite the weight, maintaining a cohesive, modern headline color.
