A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact, tightly packed inner-counter structure. Curves are smoothly rounded and geometric, while joins and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a strong, blocky silhouette. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-driving rhythm; spacing appears sturdy and headline-oriented, with large counters in letters like O and Q balanced by denser shapes in B, S, and g.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact matters—headlines, posters, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports and fitness identities, energetic campaigns, and packaging that needs strong shelf presence. For extended text, it will read most comfortably in short bursts such as subheads, pull quotes, or display lines.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a bold, energetic presence that feels contemporary and action-oriented. Its slanted stance and stout forms read as confident and urgent, suited to messaging that needs to feel fast, strong, and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch in an oblique, modern sans framework, prioritizing momentum, compact strength, and immediate legibility at display sizes.
The design favors clear, simplified construction over delicate detail, with minimal modulation and an emphasis on mass and momentum. Figures share the same oblique, heavyweight personality, supporting consistent emphasis in numeric-heavy settings.
