A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, built-up strokes and smooth curve transitions. The letterforms favor compact, sturdy capitals and slightly wide, open bowls, with minimal stroke modulation and consistently blunt terminals. Counters are moderately tight and apertures are somewhat closed, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals match the set’s weight and slant, with simple, solid silhouettes that stay clear at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short messages, and branding where a bold, forward-leaning voice is needed. It should perform well on posters, packaging, and signage, and can add emphasis to pull quotes or UI callouts when used sparingly.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a forward-leaning momentum that feels sporty and contemporary. Its rounded shaping keeps the weight from feeling harsh, lending a friendly, approachable character while still reading as strong and promotional.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, slanted sans for attention-grabbing display typography, balancing impact with rounded, approachable forms for broadly usable commercial styling.
The rhythm is driven by broad curves and compact joins, producing a cohesive, poster-like color in text. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping headlines feel unified and directional.
