A heavy, oblique sans with wide proportions and a rounded, geometric skeleton. Strokes are thick and even, with smooth curves and softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively tight (notably in letters like a, e, and s), and terminals tend to end in clean, angled cuts consistent with the slant. The overall rhythm is bold and steady, prioritizing impact and uniform texture over fine detail.
Best suited to large-scale uses where the bold texture and slanted stance can do the work: headlines, posters, attention-grabbing ads, packaging callouts, and energetic brand or event messaging. It can also serve as a strong supporting accent in layouts that need short, high-impact phrases or numerals.
The tone is loud, upbeat, and assertive, with a friendly roundedness that reads more sporty and contemporary than formal. The slant adds forward motion, making the face feel active and promotional. It communicates confidence and immediacy rather than restraint.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, dynamic posture and simple, rounded geometry that stays legible in bold, high-contrast contexts. The consistent stroke weight and broad forms suggest an emphasis on strong presence and a modern, approachable voice.
At display sizes the forms feel cohesive and highly graphic, while the combination of dense weight and tight apertures can cause interior shapes to close up as sizes get smaller. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining a consistent visual color across mixed text.
