A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded shaping. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a dense, high-impact silhouette. Curves are clean and geometric (notably in O/C/G), while joins and terminals tend to be blunt and slightly angled, reinforcing a forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the lowercase shows a sturdy, workmanlike construction with a single-storey a and g and a pronounced, readable ear on g.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, bold advertising, packaging, and prominent signage. It can work for short bursts of copy or callouts, but it’s most effective when used as a display face rather than for long reading passages.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its chunky, rounded geometry reads as contemporary and approachable rather than formal, giving headlines a confident, sporty voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful display voice by combining a strong oblique angle with rounded, geometric forms and consistently thick strokes. It prioritizes immediacy and visual punch, aiming for modern, athletic emphasis in branding and headline settings.
In text, the slant and mass produce strong word shapes and clear emphasis, but the tight counters and heavy strokes can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and roundness, staying legible through simple, sturdy shapes.
