A heavy, slanted sans with rounded bowls and softly cut terminals that keep the shapes smooth rather than sharp. The strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact letterforms and strong silhouettes. Curves dominate the construction (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the lowercase), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are broad and stable; the overall rhythm is tight and assertive. Numerals match the letterforms with chunky proportions and rounded counters, maintaining a cohesive, high-impact texture in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where impact and motion are priorities. It can work effectively on packaging and promotional graphics, especially where a sporty or high-energy message is desired. In longer passages it will feel dense and emphatic, making it more appropriate for short bursts of copy than for extended reading.
The design reads as energetic and sporty, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, balancing the weight with a friendly, contemporary tone suitable for attention-grabbing typography.
The font appears designed to deliver strong, immediate presence with a sense of speed, using rounded geometry and substantial weight to stay legible and cohesive at display sizes. Its construction prioritizes bold silhouettes and a steady rhythm for confident, modern messaging.
Capitals are wide and blocky with generous internal curves, while lowercase forms feel compact and sturdy, helping maintain an even, dark typographic color. The italic angle is noticeable without becoming calligraphic, keeping the voice firmly in a geometric, display-oriented sans direction.
