A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, smoothly drawn curves. Strokes are low-contrast with consistently blunt terminals, producing a solid, uniform color in text. Counters are generous in letters like O, P, and e, while joins and diagonals (N, V, W, X) feel sturdy and slightly softened rather than razor-sharp. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a simple open e, and a short-armed r, keeping the forms compact and highly legible at display sizes.
This face works best where impact and quick recognition matter: headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand statements. It also suits packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from an energetic, modern sans with a strong slanted stance.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a contemporary, sporty slant that feels active and forward-moving. Its thick, rounded construction reads approachable rather than severe, making it well-suited to energetic branding and attention-getting headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, energetic sans for display typography, balancing high visual weight with rounded detailing to maintain friendliness and clarity. The oblique posture suggests emphasis and motion, geared toward contemporary marketing and headline-driven layouts.
Spacing appears even and deliberately tight enough to hold dense headlines together without clogging. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the letters’ rounded geometry for a cohesive, poster-ready voice.
