A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth curves throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact letterforms. Counters are relatively small and closed, and the proportions skew broad with compact internal space, giving the font a solid, blocky presence. Terminals and joins are softened rather than sharp, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) keep a clean, consistent slant that reinforces forward motion. Figures are stout and simplified, matching the letters’ rounded, sturdy rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short, emphatic copy where strong presence is needed. It fits sports and action-oriented branding, bold packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where the oblique stance can add momentum. Use with generous sizing and spacing when setting longer lines to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning feel that reads as confident rather than formal. Rounded shapes add approachability, nudging the personality toward friendly and slightly retro display styling. The weight and slant together create a sense of speed and immediacy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, modern sans voice, combining broad proportions, heavy weight, and an oblique stance for emphasis. Rounded geometry and simplified forms suggest a focus on approachable, high-energy display typography rather than neutral text setting.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes; at smaller sizes the interior spaces and punctuation can feel compressed. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), reinforcing the geometric, contemporary display character and keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
