A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded forms and smooth joins. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with compact counters and generous black area that creates strong color on the page. Terminals are mostly blunt or softly rounded, and the overall construction favors simple curves and sturdy diagonals, giving letters a slightly compressed, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and softness, with solid, legible silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as headlines, posters, and large-format signage. It also fits sporty or high-energy branding, packaging fronts, and short promotional phrases where impact and motion matter more than fine detail.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion. Its chunky curves and soft corners keep the voice friendly rather than severe, making it feel bold, sporty, and approachable.
Designed to deliver maximum emphasis with a brisk, forward-leaning presence while staying clean and contemporary. The rounded, low-detail shapes prioritize immediate recognition and a friendly strength in display settings.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps long lines maintain momentum. The dense stroke weight and tight interior spaces make it most effective when given ample size and breathing room.
