A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced rightward slant and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a dense, graphic silhouette. Curves are full and smooth (notably in C, G, O, S), while joins and terminals stay clean and simplified. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are somewhat closed, giving the letters a strong, blocky rhythm and a cohesive, poster-like texture across lines of text.
Best suited for display use where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, promotions, sports and outdoor branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short editorial deck lines or social graphics, but its dense weight and compact spacing make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a fast, forward-leaning stance that reads as sporty and action-oriented. Its bold, compact shapes feel modern and utilitarian, projecting confidence and urgency more than refinement.
Designed to deliver maximum punch in a slanted, space-efficient footprint, combining simple geometric curves with heavy strokes for immediate visibility. The intent appears to be a versatile display sans that conveys speed and strength while staying clean and contemporary.
In text settings, the slant and weight combine to create a strong horizontal drive and a dark overall color. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, matching the letterforms for consistent emphasis in headlines and short statements.
