A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded construction. Strokes stay largely uniform, with softened terminals and curved joins that keep the forms approachable despite the mass. The x-height is prominent and the bowls are generously rounded, while counters remain relatively tight at this weight. Letterforms lean forward consistently, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are wide and stable, producing a strong, rhythmic texture in lines of text. Numerals match the same robust, rounded language and maintain an even, weighty presence.
Best suited to headlines, short marketing lines, and identity work where bold, slanted letterforms can carry personality at a glance. It performs well for sports and lifestyle branding, posters, signage, and packaging where high-impact typography is needed, and can also work for brief UI labels or callouts when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a forward-leaning, action-oriented feel. Its rounded shapes add friendliness and accessibility, balancing the intensity of the heavy weight so it reads as sporty rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary display voice with a built-in sense of speed and emphasis. Rounded construction and uniform stroke weight suggest a goal of maintaining clarity and friendliness while maximizing visual impact in large sizes.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for display: the dense stroke mass and compact counters create a darker typographic color, especially in all-caps settings. The italic angle is prominent enough to be felt immediately in headings and short phrases, reinforcing motion and emphasis.
