A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded construction. Strokes maintain a largely even weight, with smooth curves and softly finished terminals that keep the texture friendly despite the mass. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, and the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with compact, rounded bowls. Overall spacing reads roomy and stable, producing a dark, consistent typographic color that stays clear in larger settings.
Best suited for headlines, short paragraphs, and display typography where impact and momentum are desirable. It works well for branding and packaging that aims to feel energetic and modern, and for sports or event materials where a strong, slanted voice helps convey motion and urgency.
The slant and wide stance give the face a sense of speed and forward motion, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable. It feels contemporary and upbeat, with a confident, headline-ready presence rather than a delicate or formal tone.
The design appears intended to combine bold, high-impact letterforms with a rounded, friendly geometry, using an oblique stance to add motion and emphasis. It prioritizes punchy readability and a contemporary voice for prominent typographic moments.
Diagonal joins and angled cuts on several forms reinforce the oblique rhythm across lines of text, helping words appear to lean together as a unit. Numerals share the same broad, sturdy feel, with rounded curves and simple, legible silhouettes suited to display use.
