A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes stay consistently thick with rounded joins and gently softened corners, creating a smooth, padded silhouette rather than sharp geometry. Curves are full and circular in letters like O/C/G, while diagonals in A/V/W/X and the angled terminals add strong directional motion. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a, tight apertures, and a robust rhythm that holds up at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It also fits sports and action-oriented graphics, social media promos, and punchy editorial callouts where the slanted stance can convey speed and emphasis.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its slant and dense weight read as dynamic and contemporary, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, rounded sans structure and a built-in sense of motion. It prioritizes bold readability and contemporary energy for display typography rather than quiet, text-first neutrality.
Figures are bold and compact, with rounded bowls (notably 8/9/0) and strong diagonals that match the letterforms’ forward momentum. The texture in lines of text appears dark and continuous, emphasizing impact over delicacy.
