A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and compact internal counters that stay open at display sizes. Stroke endings are clean and mostly straight-cut, creating crisp facets that contrast with the otherwise soft, circular geometry. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and smooth curves that read as a cohesive, poster-friendly system.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and brand marks where strong emphasis and quick recognition are needed. It performs well in sports and event graphics, punchy packaging, and bold signage, and can also work for brief subheads when generous spacing and size are available.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that feels sporty and action-oriented. Its rounded massing keeps the voice approachable, while the weight and compact apertures add urgency and impact.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a streamlined, modern sans structure, combining rounded geometry with angled cuts for speed and attitude. The consistent oblique construction suggests an emphasis on motion and immediacy for display typography.
Capitals are wide and blocky with simplified construction, while the lowercase maintains strong presence rather than becoming delicate, reinforcing a uniform, headline-first color. Numerals share the same compact, italicized stance, with bold, rounded silhouettes that prioritize visibility over fine detail.
