A heavy, oblique sans with chunky, rounded forms and broad, stable strokes. Counters are generally open but can tighten in smaller apertures, giving letters a dense, ink-trap-free mass. Terminals tend to be blunt and softly curved rather than sharp, and the overall construction mixes circular bowls with flattened joins for a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. The lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g), and the numerals are similarly weighty with rounded interior spaces and a consistent forward slant.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and short emphatic messaging where impact and motion are desired. It can also work for packaging and sports or entertainment applications where a strong, slanted sans helps convey energy and confidence.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its strong slant and compact, muscular shapes create a sense of motion and assertiveness, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, forward-leaning stance, pairing rounded, simplified letterforms with a strong display presence for attention-grabbing text.
The forward lean and heavy weight emphasize horizontal rhythm and momentum, especially in all-caps settings. In dense copy the dark color can build quickly, but the simplified shapes keep word forms clear at display sizes.
