A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters and strong figure–ground contrast. Terminals are generally clean and blunt, while joins and curves stay smooth and full, giving letters a slightly inflated, athletic feel. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a clear, upright stem structure under the slant, and the numerals match the same weight and rounded geometry for a unified texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and identity work where a strong, energetic voice is desirable. It works well for sports and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, event promos, and bold UI moments such as hero banners or section headers where impact matters more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is bold and forward-moving, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its slant and wide stance create a sense of speed and impact, leaning into a retro display sensibility while still reading as a straightforward modern sans.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, geometric sans structure, using a consistent slant to suggest motion and urgency. It prioritizes bold presence and a smooth, rounded feel for contemporary display typography.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm favor big, headline settings where the heavy shapes can breathe; at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight can make complex word shapes feel darker. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a cohesive voice in mixed-case lines.
