A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are generally blunt with subtly softened corners. Counters are open and clean, with circular forms leaning toward oval shapes in the slant, giving a steady forward rhythm. Uppercase letters read sturdy and compact, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation through simple, single-storey-style silhouettes and straightforward joins. Numerals match the same robust construction and remain highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact and speed are desired—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and prominent UI or product callouts. It can also work for branding systems that need a muscular, modern voice, especially in sports, fitness, or tech-oriented contexts.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and urgency. Its chunky forms and tight, confident shapes convey a contemporary, performance-oriented feel rather than a delicate or editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a slanted sans format, pairing strong weight with simple geometric construction for fast readability and a sense of motion.
The slant is strong enough to create momentum without collapsing spacing, and the wide set helps preserve clarity in dense, dark text. Rounded bowls and generous apertures keep the texture from becoming muddy, even in long sample lines.
