A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry throughout. Strokes are thick and consistent, with gently softened joins and terminals that keep the forms smooth rather than sharp. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and curves (C, G, O, S) are built from full, open arcs with a steady rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall, prominent x-height and simplified shapes (notably single-storey a and g), while the figures are equally bold and wide, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or signage when a friendly but forceful presence is needed, especially at larger sizes where the compact counters stay open and legible.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining the assertiveness of a dense black weight with the friendliness of rounded forms. The italic slant adds forward motion, giving it a sporty, promotional feel without becoming formal or calligraphic.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a smooth, rounded construction, pairing high impact with approachability. The consistent slant suggests an intention toward motion and emphasis, making it well tuned for attention-grabbing, contemporary messaging.
The design maintains a consistent, blocky color across lines of text, with minimal delicacy in thin areas and strong emphasis on silhouette. The slant is uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and dynamic.
