A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a smooth, geometric construction. Curves are round and even, terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and the overall stroke treatment stays consistent with little modulation. Counters are relatively compact, and several joins show subtle notches that read like ink-trap hints, helping keep shapes open at large sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and straightforward with a simple single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’, and the numerals follow the same wide, sturdy rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed matter: headlines, posters, sports and streetwear-style branding, packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for short UI labels or title treatments when you want a compact, high-energy voice.
The tone is confident and fast, combining a sporty slant with a solid, engineered feel. Its wide stance and dense weight give it a loud, attention-grabbing presence that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans that pairs a forward-leaning stance with wide, geometric forms for maximum presence. Its construction emphasizes clarity at large sizes and a strong, branded silhouette that feels built for loud messaging.
The oblique angle and wide set create strong forward motion, while the rounded geometry prevents it from feeling sharp or aggressive. In longer sample text it remains cohesive and punchy, with spacing that favors headline impact over quiet, texty neutrality.
