A heavy oblique sans with broad proportions and generous, rounded counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves and softened terminals that keep the mass from feeling sharp. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm reads wide and steady with solid, blocky silhouettes.
Best suited to short, bold text where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, sports or activewear branding, packaging callouts, and prominent signage. The strong weight and broad letterforms help it hold up at distance and on high-contrast layouts.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, forward-leaning energy. Its rounded construction softens the aggressiveness, giving it a friendly modern confidence rather than a harsh industrial feel.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a streamlined, contemporary voice, combining geometric clarity with an italic slant for motion. The softened corners and rounded counters suggest an intention to remain approachable while still reading loud and confident.
Capitals present simple, geometric structures with open forms, while lowercase keeps single-storey shapes where expected and maintains a sturdy, compact feel. Numerals are bold and highly legible at display sizes, matching the same oblique momentum and rounded detailing.
