A heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and broad, rounded outer shapes. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with smooth curves and subtly softened joins that keep counters open despite the weight. The slant is consistent and forward-leaning, and the overall texture reads dense and assertive with tight interior space in letters like B, R, and 8. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction for a cohesive set.
Well suited for headlines, poster copy, and brand marks that need immediate impact. It can work effectively in sports and active-lifestyle graphics, energetic packaging, promotional materials, and bold UI callouts where readability at larger sizes and strong emphasis are desired.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and urgency. Its soft rounding tempers the mass, giving it an approachable, sporty confidence rather than a severe or technical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a dynamic, forward motion while staying friendly through rounded forms. It prioritizes visual punch and cohesive display texture over delicate detail, aiming for fast recognition and strong presence.
Capitals are wide and stable while still maintaining a noticeable forward angle, creating strong headline presence. The lowercase shows lively silhouettes (notably a, g, and y) that add rhythm in text, though the weight and slant keep it best suited to short bursts rather than extended reading.
