A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric counters. Strokes maintain an even weight with smooth curves and blunt, slightly softened terminals, giving letters a dense, cohesive texture. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with wide, open bowls and clear interior shapes that hold up at display sizes. Numerals are sturdy and simple, matching the letterforms’ rounded geometry and strong, forward-leaning stance.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, bold brand marks, and attention-grabbing packaging. The strong oblique stance can add motion and urgency to marketing copy, while the sturdy numerals make it a good fit for price points, scores, and promotional callouts.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its forward slant and thick, rounded forms read as contemporary and confident rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean, modern sans structure, combining a consistent oblique angle with rounded, geometric construction for a fast, contemporary feel.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the dense letterforms from clumping, and the rhythm stays smooth across mixed-case text. The shapes favor clarity and impact over fine detail, making the face feel stable and punchy in short bursts.
