A heavy, slanted sans with smooth, rounded bowls and a largely geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving forms a solid, blocky presence. Counters are fairly open for the weight, with rounded interior shapes in letters like B, D, O, and P, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel strong and stable. Lowercase forms stay straightforward and readable, with a single‑storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a simple, vertical i/j with round dots. Numerals are robust and compact, with an open 4, a curved 2, and a balanced 8/9 that match the overall roundness.
Best suited to display applications where impact and momentum are desired: headlines, short promotional copy, branding, and packaging. The weight and slant also work well for sports or performance-oriented messaging, while the open counters help it remain legible in larger blocks of text at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and modern, with a forward-leaning motion that reads as active and energetic. Its sturdy shapes and rounded geometry keep it approachable rather than severe, making it feel sporty and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary voice with built-in motion, combining geometric roundness with a consistent slant for emphasis. It aims for high visibility and a clean, modern texture without relying on decorative details.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive rhythm in text. Curves and diagonals carry most of the personality; straight-sided letters like E, F, and T remain restrained, helping the design stay versatile despite its strong presence.
