A heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and smooth, rounded construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and curves are broadly modeled, giving counters a sturdy, simplified feel. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while joins stay tight and dense, producing a strong, blocky silhouette that remains readable at display sizes. The rhythm is forward-leaning and consistent, with slightly tightened apertures and robust bowls that emphasize mass over delicacy.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, posters, branding marks, and promotional graphics where a forward-leaning, powerful voice is helpful. It also fits packaging and signage that needs quick recognition and a confident, modern tone.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its strong slant adds motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in an oblique sans form—prioritizing dense color, compact geometry, and fast, energetic emphasis for display typography.
The uppercase forms read particularly stable and compact, while the lowercase keeps the same dense color and oblique momentum. Numerals appear equally weighty and built for impact, supporting attention-grabbing layouts where bold emphasis is desired.
