A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and broad, rounded curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softly squared terminals and tight interior counters that emphasize mass and solidity. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating forward motion without introducing calligraphic modulation. Round letters stay smooth and full, while diagonals and joins feel sturdy and slightly compressed, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
This font is well suited for bold headlines, poster typography, and attention-grabbing branding where a compact, forward-leaning voice helps convey speed and strength. It can work effectively on packaging, apparel graphics, and signage where large sizes and high contrast against the background are expected.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a strong sense of momentum from the oblique stance. It reads as sporty and contemporary, prioritizing impact and confidence over delicacy or nuance.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch in a slanted, modern sans style—combining rounded geometry with a dense weight to create fast, assertive display typography.
Capitals have a robust, block-like presence, and the lowercase maintains clear silhouettes while remaining thick and compact. Numerals match the same bold, rounded construction, giving headings and short lines a uniform, tightly knit rhythm.
