A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls with rounded terminals, while straighter strokes keep a clean, geometric feel. The italic slant is consistent and gives forms a forward lean without introducing calligraphic modulation; joins and apertures stay relatively closed, contributing to a dense, punchy texture. Overall spacing reads sturdy and even, producing a strong, blocky rhythm in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the dense, rounded shapes can deliver maximum impact—headlines, poster copy, bold brand marks, and packaging callouts. The oblique stance also works well for motion-oriented themes such as sports, gaming, and energetic promotional graphics.
The combination of extreme weight and steady slant creates a sense of momentum and impact. Rounded geometry and soft terminals keep it approachable rather than aggressive, lending a sporty, upbeat tone that feels contemporary and attention-getting.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a forward-leaning, modern attitude while maintaining friendly, rounded geometry for broad appeal.
Uppercase forms are broad and simplified, with circular letters (C/O/Q) reading especially bold and compact. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, and the overall slant makes lines of text feel dynamic and directional.
