A heavy, slanted sans with compact counters and broad, rounded outer curves. Strokes stay essentially monoline, with blunt terminals and subtly squared-off joins that keep forms feeling sturdy rather than sleek. Uppercase shapes read wide and stable, while lowercase combines single-storey constructions (notably a and g) with tight apertures and generous bowls. Numerals match the same solid rhythm, with rounded forms and firm, simplified details that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and branding where immediate impact is needed. The thick strokes and compact counters make it effective for sports or event graphics, retail promotions, and packaging callouts, and it can also work for short signage and social media graphics when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with an oblique stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its dense color and simplified shapes feel contemporary and workmanlike, leaning toward sporty and promotional moods rather than delicate or editorial refinement.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in an oblique sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes and even stroke weight for high-impact display typography. The simplified, rounded geometry suggests an intention to feel modern, fast, and broadly usable across branding and promotional layouts.
Curves are emphasized over sharp corners, but the detailing remains intentionally blunt, producing a strong silhouette and consistent texture across lines. Spacing appears tuned for headline impact, with the slant helping long words feel more forward-moving and compact.
