A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with smooth curves and firm terminals that keep counters open and shapes legible at display sizes. The uppercase has a sturdy, slightly condensed feel within its width, while the lowercase shows simplified forms with single-storey structures and soft joins. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic, creating an even, emphatic texture across lines.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where impact is the priority—headlines, campaign graphics, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and bold UI banners. It can work for brief subheads or emphasis text, but the dense color and slant are most effective when used sparingly and at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, with an athletic, forward-leaning momentum. Its thick, rounded forms read as friendly but forceful, giving headlines a confident, contemporary voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with forward motion and high visual mass, balancing blunt strength with rounded, approachable geometry for contemporary display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and rhythmic, producing dense, high-impact word shapes in the sample text. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the rounded geometry helps prevent the weight from feeling harsh or overly technical.
