A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded contours. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid, high-impact letterforms. Many joins and corners appear subtly softened, and several glyphs show tapered cuts or notch-like insets at terminals and inside corners, adding a slightly engineered, cut-in feel. The rhythm is compact and punchy, with sturdy bowls, wide counters, and numerals that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for display work such as headlines, posters, logos, and branding systems where impact and momentum are desired. It also fits sports and lifestyle graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI or marketing banners where quick recognition matters more than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its oblique stance and thick shapes give it forward motion, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The cut-in terminal details add a retro-industrial flavor that feels made for attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, modern display voice with a sense of motion, using an oblique angle, broad forms, and subtle cut-in terminal shaping to increase distinctiveness and punch in large sizes.
Uppercase forms are especially broad and emphatic, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure suited to short text bursts. The figures are chunky and highly legible, with distinctive shaping that helps differentiate similar forms at a glance.
