A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are smooth and uniform, with rounded bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and lower-case o) paired with crisp, squared terminals that keep the silhouette firm and graphic. Curves feel geometric and consistent, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y, k) are strong and stable, producing a compact, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals are bold and simplified with large interior spaces, maintaining clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale uses where mass and slant can work as a visual hook: headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, bold branding moments, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also serve as an emphatic accent face in editorial or UI contexts when used sparingly and with generous whitespace.
The overall tone is confident and kinetic, with an immediate sense of motion from the pronounced slant and dense weight. It reads as athletic and promotional—direct, attention-grabbing, and built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, energetic stance—combining geometric roundness with sturdy, squared endings to stay legible and forceful in short bursts of text.
Spacing appears intentionally tight for a solid, headline-driven texture, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Round forms stay clean and controlled, avoiding flaring or calligraphic modulation, which reinforces a straightforward, contemporary voice.
