A heavy, oblique sans with sturdy, rounded-corner forms and minimal stroke modulation. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are somewhat closed, giving the letters a dense, compact rhythm despite the generous overall widths. Terminals are clean and blunt, bowls are broadly elliptical, and joins stay smooth and uniform, creating a consistent, engineered texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its weight and slant can drive emphasis. It will also work well in sports and product contexts that benefit from a compact, high-impact texture, while extended small-size text may feel dark due to the tight counters.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as dynamic and athletic. Its dense blacks and compact interiors lend a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels contemporary and performance-oriented rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans for attention-grabbing communication, prioritizing impact and uniformity over delicacy. Its rounded geometry and blunt terminals suggest a goal of combining toughness with approachable, contemporary shapes.
Capitals are built on simple geometric skeletons with softened corners, and the oblique slant is consistent across the set. The lowercase keeps single-storey shapes where expected (notably the “a”), reinforcing an approachable, utilitarian feel. Numerals match the letterweight closely and hold up well at display sizes due to their broad, uncomplicated shapes.
