A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth, almost circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while counters stay open enough to remain readable at display sizes. The overall rhythm is punchy and compact, with sturdy joins and a forward slant that keeps lines moving.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that need immediate presence. It works well for sports and lifestyle graphics, event promotions, packaging, and bold UI callouts where a friendly but forceful voice is desired. Use generous tracking and ample line spacing when setting longer blocks to keep the dense weight from feeling crowded.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, with a fast, sporty feel driven by the slant and dense black shapes. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, giving it a friendly, approachable edge rather than a purely industrial one. Overall it reads as contemporary, bold, and attention-seeking.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric sans structure, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded forms for a modern, energetic personality. The letterforms prioritize strong silhouettes and quick recognition in display contexts.
Numerals and caps feel especially headline-oriented, with simplified forms and large, stable silhouettes that emphasize impact over delicacy. The italic construction appears more like a true oblique—keeping single-storey, geometric forms while leaning them forward for speed and emphasis.
