A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and dense black shapes. Strokes are uniform and strongly weighted, with rounded curves that feel carved rather than delicate, and terminals that read as clean, blunt cuts. Counters are relatively tight (especially in letters like a, e, and s), creating a compact rhythm that holds together in large display sizes. The uppercase is sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase maintains clear, simplified forms with a straightforward, single-storey a and a firm, workmanlike feel overall. Numerals share the same muscular construction and forward-leaning stance, emphasizing speed and impact.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and promotional typography where strong impact and a sense of motion are desired. It can work well for sports branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and social or digital ads that need immediate visual authority. Use with generous spacing and shorter copy for maximum clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and immediacy. It conveys a modern, no-nonsense confidence suited to attention-grabbing messaging, where bold presence matters more than quiet refinement.
Designed to deliver bold, fast-looking communication through a slanted stance, simplified forms, and compact counters, prioritizing punchy readability and strong word shapes in display contexts.
The oblique angle and broad letterforms give words a strong horizontal flow, while the tight apertures and thick joins create a compact texture. In continuous text, the weight can feel intense, but it produces a clear, emphatic silhouette for short lines and headlines.
