A heavy oblique sans with rounded, compact curves and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, giving the letterforms a sturdy, graphic presence. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm feels dense and deliberate, with smooth curves in O/C/G balanced by firm, simplified joins in letters like M/N/V/W. Figures are stout and bold, matching the letter weight and maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form statements where a strong, forward-leaning presence is desirable. It also fits sports branding, promotional graphics, and packaging callouts where dense color and quick readability help create impact. For longer passages, it performs best at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, conveying speed and momentum through its consistent slant and dense weight. It reads as confident and contemporary, with a no-nonsense impact that feels suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet editorial texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, modern oblique voice for display typography, prioritizing momentum and solid texture. Its rounded construction and consistent stroke weight aim for broad, familiar legibility while still feeling dynamic and energetic.
The sample text shows strong cohesion in long lines: the slant and heavy color create a unified block that emphasizes emphasis and urgency. The design favors clarity of outline over interior openness, which enhances impact but can make very small sizes feel crowded compared to lighter obliques.
