A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with minimal modulation and ample internal counters to keep forms open at display sizes. The italics are built into the structure rather than applied as a simple slant, giving letters a forward-leaning, slightly compressed rhythm and lively diagonals. Curves are smooth and bulbous while terminals tend to be blunt and gently tapered, creating a cohesive, high-impact texture in words and headlines.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, bold branding systems, and packaging that needs a confident, friendly presence. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a strong, slanted emphasis is desirable, but its mass and forward lean make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a forward motion that reads as active and assertive. Its rounded massing keeps it approachable and slightly playful, while the sheer weight and width deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice reminiscent of sporty or mid-century display lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-energy display sans that combines athletic forward motion with rounded friendliness. Its wide stance and sturdy, uniform strokes prioritize instant visibility and a cohesive, logo-ready silhouette.
Capitals are sturdy and geometric with generous bowls (notably in O/Q and B), and the lowercase carries a similarly rounded, chunky construction that emphasizes readability in short bursts. Numerals follow the same wide, dense style, producing strong, blocky figures that hold up well in large settings.
