A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded shapes and blunt terminals. Curves are smooth and full, with generous bowls in letters like O, Q, and e, while straighter strokes stay thick and even. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating forward momentum without becoming calligraphic. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a clear, open rhythm in text despite the dense weight.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and sports or event graphics where strong impact is needed. It can work for short text runs in advertising or UI accents, but its dense weight and oblique posture are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable, while the strong slant and massed strokes make it feel fast, bold, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, contemporary attitude, using rounded geometry and consistent stroke thickness to keep the look clean, cohesive, and highly legible in display settings.
Capitals are wide and stable, with simple, geometric construction and minimal modulation. Numerals are similarly weighty and oblique, designed to read as a unified block in headlines and short bursts. The combination of tight counters and thick strokes favors large sizes where the strong silhouettes can carry the design.
