A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, inflated counters that give it a chunky silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are largely blunt or softly rounded, keeping the forms sturdy and poster-like. Curves dominate the construction (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls), while diagonals are strongly emphasized in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z, creating a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate, and the numerals share the same dense, muscular build for a uniform texture in all-caps and mixed settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and punchy packaging callouts. It also works well for bold logotypes or wordmarks where a strong slanted stance and thick forms can carry the identity. In longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes where the compact counters and dense texture can breathe.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as action-oriented and attention grabbing. Its chunky rounds and compact counters add a friendly boldness, balancing aggression with approachability. The texture feels loud and contemporary, suited to messaging that needs immediacy and impact.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward motion and simplified, rounded construction. The emphasis appears to be on bold presence, quick recognition, and a contemporary, sporty voice that holds up well in display contexts.
Round letters maintain nearly circular counters, while joins and diagonals stay clean and uncomplicated, reinforcing a strong geometric feel. The lowercase follows the same robust, simplified logic, producing a consistent, high-ink presence that prioritizes impact over delicacy at small sizes.
