A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact, dense counters. Strokes are largely monolinear with subtle modulation from the slant, and terminals are mostly squared-off with occasional softened rounding in curved joins. Curves are full and smooth (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while diagonals are assertive and angular (A, K, V, W, X), giving a sturdy, forward-leaning rhythm. Letterforms read cleanly at display sizes, with tight apertures and sturdy bowls that emphasize mass and impact.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where bold presence and speed are desirable. It can work in short bursts of text (taglines, callouts, UI banners) but will typically need spacing adjustments for longer passages because of its dense counters and strong slant.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward motion that feels sporty and promotional. Its broad stance and dark color on the page communicate confidence and immediacy, leaning toward contemporary branding rather than understated editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance, combining rounded geometric foundations with blocky terminals to stay both friendly and forceful. It prioritizes bold recognition and momentum over airy readability in extended text.
The texture becomes very dark in paragraph-sized settings due to the weight and compact internal spaces, so generous tracking and leading can help preserve clarity. Numerals share the same slanted, muscular construction, supporting cohesive mixed alphanumeric use in headlines and labels.
