A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and broad, smooth curves. Strokes are thick and even, with compact counters that stay open enough for clarity at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly flat-to-softened, giving forms a sturdy, sculpted feel rather than a sharp, edgy one. The overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with slightly lively, individualized proportions across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, campaign graphics, product packaging, and bold brand statements. It performs particularly well where a compact, energetic texture is desired, and where the slanted stance can add motion and emphasis.
The tone is bold and forward-moving, with a sporty, contemporary attitude. Its combination of mass and slant reads as active and promotional, projecting confidence and immediacy rather than subtlety or refinement.
Likely designed as a high-impact italic companion for display typography, prioritizing immediacy, momentum, and a unified dark color on the page. The rounded construction and sturdy spacing suggest an aim for approachable strength in promotional and identity contexts.
Numerals follow the same weight and slanted stance as the letters, maintaining a unified, poster-ready texture. The lowercase is built to feel friendly and robust, while the uppercase stays strong and straightforward, making mixed-case settings feel cohesive and high-impact.
