A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are monoline in feeling, with softened corners and a slightly compressed interior space that keeps letters looking dense and graphic. Curves are built from smooth ellipses, while joins and terminals are cut with angled, wedge-like finishes that create crisp entry/exit points. The uppercase reads blocky and powerful; the lowercase keeps a sturdy, single-storey construction with a clearly defined dot on i/j and similarly weighty figures.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense shapes and angled terminals can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and bold packaging or labels. It can also work for short UI labels or calls-to-action when a strong, energetic emphasis is needed, but its heavy texture is less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its chunky silhouettes and angled terminals add a sporty, poster-like attitude that can feel both contemporary and reminiscent of classic athletic branding.
The design appears intended to provide an emphatic, motion-forward sans for display settings, combining rounded geometry with sharp, angled terminals to create a fast, high-impact rhythm. It prioritizes presence and immediacy, aiming for clear recognition and a strong graphic silhouette in branding and titling.
Round letters such as O/C/G show generous outer curves paired with compact counters, giving text a solid, high-impact color. Diagonals and cross-strokes (e.g., in K, R, V, W, X) emphasize the slant and reinforce a sense of motion. Numerals follow the same bold, rounded logic, producing strong, easily noticed figures in headlines.
