A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and dense, compact counters. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with subtle modulation from the oblique angle and soft rounding at joins that keeps the forms from feeling sharp. Curves are generous and elliptical (notably in O/C/G and the bowls), while diagonals are decisive and add a forward-driving rhythm. Spacing reads intentionally tight, and several letters show slightly enclosed apertures, contributing to a bold, unified texture in text.
Best suited to display contexts where strong emphasis is needed—headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks. It can work for short bursts of copy such as labels or callouts, especially when size and spacing allow the compact apertures to stay clear.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, high-impact presence that feels built for attention. Its strong slant and chunky silhouettes convey motion and confidence, leaning more toward headline energy than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a bold, oblique stance and wide, rounded geometry. Its construction prioritizes momentum, legibility at large sizes, and a cohesive, high-contrast page color for branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while lowercase maintains a compact, sturdy feel with short extenders and round, weighty bowls. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with simplified, angled details that reinforce the forward-leaning character. In paragraph settings the dark color is consistent and poster-like, prioritizing impact over airy openness.
