A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact, forward-leaning stance. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth, rounded joins and terminals, giving the letterforms a clean, geometric feel without sharp contrast. Counters are relatively tight in rounded letters, and overall spacing reads sturdy and dense, producing a strong, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the weight and slant, staying simple and solid for clear, bold presentation.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, and campaign graphics. The weight and slant also fit sports and performance branding, bold packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage where a compact, modern voice is desired.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a clear sense of motion from the slant and the chunky, compact forms. It feels contemporary and performance-oriented, projecting confidence and immediacy rather than delicacy or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a fast, forward-leaning silhouette, pairing geometric roundness with substantial weight for a modern, high-energy display voice.
The sample text shows a uniform, assertive rhythm: the slanted forms create a continuous forward drive, while the rounded construction keeps the voice friendly and accessible despite the mass. At display sizes it reads as a single, cohesive block of emphasis, making it especially noticeable in headlines.
