A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact, rounded counters. Strokes are strongly weighted with subtly tapered joins and smooth curve-to-stem transitions, creating a slightly streamlined, forward-leaning silhouette. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt rather than calligraphic, while bowls and curves stay tight, giving the letters a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals are robust and geometric, matching the capitals’ wide stance and the lowercase’s compact rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are desirable: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, promotional graphics, and bold packaging. It also works well for short callouts and UI hero text where a forward-leaning, attention-grabbing tone is needed.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a clear sense of motion from the consistent slant. Its dense weight and wide set feel confident and promotional, leaning toward an athletic or headline-driven voice rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a dynamic slant and sturdy, geometric construction. It prioritizes immediacy and presence, aiming for strong readability at large sizes and a distinctly energetic, modern feel.
The lowercase shows a compact interior space and a strongly unified slant, which helps create a cohesive “block” of text at display sizes. Round letters (like o/e) keep their apertures relatively tight, and diagonals (like v/w/x/y) read crisp and emphatic, reinforcing the font’s energetic texture.
