A heavy oblique sans with broad, geometric construction and rounded, softened corners. Strokes stay consistently thick with large counters and sturdy joins, giving the letters a dense, high-impact silhouette. Curves are built from smooth arcs and near-circular forms (notably in C, O, Q and the bowls of b/p), while diagonals and terminals are cleanly cut to maintain a brisk forward slant. Spacing feels generous for such a heavy design, helping internal shapes remain open and legible in both the uppercase set and the round, single-storey lowercase.
This font is best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics where a strong, energetic voice is needed. The combination of heavy weight and open counters also supports short subheads and callouts, especially when set with ample leading and breathing room.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as active and contemporary. Its thick, friendly curves keep it from feeling severe, lending a sporty, upbeat character suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a modern, athletic slant while staying approachable through rounded geometry and consistent stroke mass. It prioritizes bold readability and momentum over delicacy, making it well adapted to punchy editorial and commercial uses.
Uppercase forms are blocky and stable, while the lowercase leans into simple, rounded anatomy with a prominent, circular i-dot and sturdy shoulders. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, designed to read clearly at display sizes with strong, simplified shapes.
