This typeface is a heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to be cleanly cut with softened corners that keep the forms friendly rather than sharp. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, S, and the numerals), while straight-sided letters like E, F, H, and N keep a solid, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms read as simple and workmanlike, with single-storey a and g, open apertures, and a generally even texture across lines.
It performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand marks where its weight and slant can carry visual energy. It also suits sports and lifestyle graphics, signage-like compositions, and promotional copy where a strong, friendly sans is desired.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. The slant and stout weight add forward motion and confidence, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable and informal rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with a sense of motion, using a consistent slant and stout strokes to maximize impact while maintaining rounded, readable forms.
The alphabet shows a consistent rightward stress and a cohesive set of curves and diagonals, giving both uppercase and lowercase a unified, display-oriented voice. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, designed to stand out at larger sizes.
