A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners and dense counters that keep the color strong and consistent across lines. Curves (C, O, S) are smooth and slightly squashed, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) feel sturdy and blocky rather than sharp. The lowercase leans toward single-storey constructions (notably the a) with simple bowls and compact openings, producing a tight, muscular rhythm in text.
Best suited for display applications where impact and immediacy are priorities: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for extended body copy at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, poster-forward energy. The slanted stance adds momentum and a sense of motion, while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. It reads as contemporary and attention-seeking, suited to bold statements and punchy messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-energy, modern oblique sans that delivers maximum visual weight and speed for marketing and editorial display use. Its rounded forms and consistent stroke thickness aim to balance toughness with approachability, keeping large-scale text readable while projecting confidence.
Figures are large and weighty with smooth curves (notably 0, 6, 8, 9), and punctuation in the sample text holds up well at display sizes. The design’s heavy ink coverage and compact apertures suggest it will perform best when given breathing room via generous tracking and line spacing, especially in longer passages.
