A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened terminals. Strokes are sturdy and largely monolinear, with smooth curves and compact counters that keep the texture dense at display sizes. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the overall construction favors simple geometric forms with slightly squarish rounds in places. Numerals are similarly weighty and forward-leaning, maintaining the same strong color and spacing rhythm as the letters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short statements where strong emphasis and a sense of motion are desired. It works well for brand marks, packaging callouts, event promotion, and sports or entertainment graphics that benefit from a bold, forward-leaning voice.
The forward slant and thick strokes give the face a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than harsh. It reads as energetic and contemporary, with a tone that feels sporty and promotional without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a clean sans structure, combining a consistent oblique stance with rounded, sturdy forms for confident display typography. Its geometry and weight suggest a focus on clarity at larger sizes and a modern, energetic presence.
Lowercase shapes appear deliberately simplified and robust, with short extenders and a compact, even rhythm that supports tight setting. The italic angle and broad set width make it especially assertive in headlines, where the dense black forms and open curves remain clear.
