A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad, compact shapes and a consistent oblique slant. Strokes are thick and uniform with minimal modulation, and corners tend to be rounded into squarish curves, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Terminals are generally blunt and slightly sheared, and several joins show small cut-ins that read like subtle ink-trap behavior at tight inner corners. Lowercase forms are large relative to capitals, producing dense, blocky word silhouettes with tight internal spacing.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and large UI or signage callouts where the oblique stance can imply speed and emphasis. It works well for sports and automotive-style branding, product packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a compact, muscular texture. In longer passages it will create a dense, dark color, so it’s most effective as a display face rather than for body copy.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with a strong “motion” impression from the slant and sturdy construction. It feels sporty and utilitarian rather than refined, projecting confidence and urgency. The rounded geometry softens the aggressiveness slightly, keeping it friendly enough for consumer-facing uses while remaining bold and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, rounded-rectangular geometry and a built-in sense of motion. It prioritizes bold clarity and brandability, using blunt sheared endings and tight inner shaping to keep heavy forms legible and punchy.
Capitals and numerals present as wide, stable blocks with squared curves, while the lowercase keeps the same robust rhythm for a cohesive texture in longer lines. The shapes stay clean at display sizes and maintain a strong presence in all-caps settings, with counters that remain readable despite the heavy weight.
