A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling harsh. Curves are full and smooth, while terminals and joins show subtle angularity that adds snap to the rhythm. Counters are relatively tight (notably in letters like a, e, s, and 8), producing a compact, ink-rich texture. Uppercase forms read sturdy and geometric, while lowercase mixes single-story shapes (a, g) with buoyant bowls and a short, sturdy i/j treatment; the overall impression is consistent and built for impact at size.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and energetic branding where strong presence is essential. It can also work well on packaging and short callouts that benefit from a compact, high-density texture and a sense of motion.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a sporty, poster-like energy. Its slanted stance and chunky forms suggest motion and immediacy, giving it a friendly-but-loud voice that fits attention-grabbing messages.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, athletic stance and rounded geometry that keeps the tone approachable. The tight counters and broad letterforms prioritize bold silhouettes and quick recognition in display contexts.
Numerals are thick and highly legible with strong silhouettes, and the round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) maintain a cohesive, inflated geometry. The oblique angle is steady across cases, and spacing appears tuned for headline settings where the dark mass and forward lean are part of the appeal.
