A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with modest contrast, producing compact counters and strong black shape in text. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, while bowls and rounds stay even and circular, giving the design a geometric backbone. The rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with sturdy diagonals and wide, stable forms that hold together at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where the oblique stance and heavy weight can do the work. It also fits energetic categories like sports and lifestyle branding, as well as packaging or promotional graphics that benefit from strong, high-contrast silhouettes against a background.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a sporty forward slant with a clean contemporary feel. Its dense weight and wide stance read as confident and attention-seeking, suitable for messaging that needs immediacy and strength without looking ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a modern, geometric sans voice, using an oblique posture to add speed and emphasis. It prioritizes bold presence and clear, simple shapes over delicacy, aiming for legible, confident display typography.
Figures are similarly robust and slanted, matching the letters for consistent texture. The design’s tight internal spaces and strong stroke mass suggest it will feel most comfortable when given adequate tracking and line spacing, especially in longer blocks of text.
