A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes are consistently thick with rounded curves and blunt, squared-off terminals, creating a dense, high-impact texture. The slant is uniform across letters and figures, and the shapes lean on simple geometric construction—full bowls, sturdy stems, and minimal modulation—giving the face a solid, engineered rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited to short, bold settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, packaging, and prominent UI or signage-style labels. The strong slant and heavy color help it perform in branded callouts and sporty or industrial graphics, while the consistent spacing supports steady, blocky text lines for brief statements.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that feels fast and determined. Its dense blackness and simplified forms read as practical and forceful rather than delicate, evoking athletic branding, utilitarian labeling, and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, no-nonsense construction, combining geometric roundness with a purposeful forward slant. It prioritizes immediacy and presence, aiming for a strong typographic voice that stays cohesive across letters and figures.
Round letters like O/C/G stay smooth and substantial, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel weighty and stable. The numerals match the same robust construction, with a distinctive slashed zero and chunky, sign-like forms that remain consistent alongside the letters.
