A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters that emphasize mass and momentum. Strokes are largely monolinear with smoothly rounded joins and corners, giving the shapes a softened, molded look despite the strong weight. Curves in letters like O, C, and G are oval and slightly squashed, while diagonals and terminals are cut with crisp, angled faces that reinforce forward slant. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, single‑storey construction with simple bowls and short, firm arms, keeping texture dense and consistent in display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, athletic identity systems, retail promotions, and packaging where a dense, powerful texture is desirable. It performs especially well in large sizes, where the rounded construction and angled terminals read clearly and project motion.
The overall tone is punchy and kinetic, with a clear forward drive that reads as sporty and promotional. Its rounded shaping keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive, while the strong oblique stance adds urgency and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed: a wide, heavy oblique sans that stays approachable through rounded geometry while maintaining a strong, contemporary display presence.
Numerals are similarly wide and weighty, with simplified silhouettes and relatively small apertures that favor impact over delicacy. The sample text shows tight, dark typographic color and a strong headline rhythm, where counters and spacing compress into a cohesive block ideal for attention-grabbing lines.
