A heavy oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact interior counters. Strokes are monolinear and smooth, with gentle corner rounding and slightly sheared terminals that reinforce the slanted motion. Curves are clean and geometric-leaning, while joins stay sturdy and closed, giving the letters a dense, punchy texture. Spacing reads fairly tight in text, producing a strong, continuous rhythm that favors impact over airiness.
Best suited to headlines and short, emphatic copy where the heavy oblique stance can carry the message. It works well for sports and active-lifestyle branding, punchy poster titles, packaging callouts, and large-scale digital ads where strong silhouette and motion are desirable.
The overall tone is dynamic and confident, with a forward-leaning, high-energy feel. Its chunky forms and rounded geometry add a friendly, slightly playful edge while still reading as bold and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning voice, combining geometric clarity with rounded friendliness. It prioritizes strong presence and rhythmic momentum for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase shapes keep a simplified, geometric stance, and the numerals match the same weight and slant, maintaining consistency across display settings. In longer lines, the dense color and italic angle create strong momentum and visual emphasis.
