A very heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, closed counters and broadly curved bowls. Strokes are thick and even, with softened joins and terminals that read as cleanly cut rather than calligraphic. Proportions are fairly compact, with sturdy verticals and wide, stable rounds; the slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the face a continuous forward motion. The lowercase forms are simple and robust, with single-storey constructions where applicable and generous interior spaces for the weight.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and promotional graphics where strong presence is needed. It also works well for sports and event identity, packaging callouts, and large-format signage, especially when a dynamic italic emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary feel. Its forward lean and dense color create a sense of speed and momentum, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, modern silhouette—combining a strong, bold build with a consistent italic slant to project motion and confidence. The rounded geometry suggests an aim for accessibility and friendliness while maintaining a dense, attention-grabbing typographic color.
Capitals present strong, geometric silhouettes with minimal modulation, and the numerals match the same italic angle and boldness for cohesive display setting. The design maintains clarity at large sizes despite the heavy weight, with counters kept open enough to avoid clogging in common letters and figures.
