A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded geometry. Strokes are uniform and full, with compact internal counters and sturdy terminals that emphasize mass over delicacy. Curves are built from clean ellipses, while diagonals and joins are simplified into strong, angular connections, creating a tight, assertive rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same dense, rounded construction and maintain a consistent, poster-ready color.
Best suited to large sizes where its thick strokes and wide presence can carry a message quickly—sports and fitness branding, event posters, punchy campaign headlines, and packaging needing bold shelf impact. It can also work in short UI or social headers where a compact, forceful voice is desired, but will feel heavy for long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning, action-oriented feel. Its dense shapes and wide stance communicate strength and momentum, reading as contemporary and attention-seeking rather than formal or reserved.
Designed to deliver maximum visibility and a sense of motion through a consistent slant, broad letterforms, and simplified geometric construction. The intention is a sturdy, modern display voice that holds up in high-contrast, high-energy branding contexts.
Spacing appears tuned for display impact, producing a dark, continuous texture in lines of text. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the rounded forms keep the weight from feeling harsh despite the blocky massing.
