A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms lean consistently to the right, with smooth, rounded curves in bowls and terminals paired with crisp, straight-sided joins that keep the silhouette clean and compact. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is even and steady, producing a strong, graphic texture in lines of text. Numerals match the robust, streamlined construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where the weight and slant can carry attitude. It also works well on packaging and promotional graphics that need a bold, energetic voice, and for sports-leaning or tech-forward visual systems.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly softness from the rounded shapes. Its slanted stance adds motion and energy, giving it a sporty, forward-driving feel that still stays approachable rather than aggressive.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a clean, geometric construction and a built-in sense of motion from the oblique angle. It prioritizes bold, modern legibility and a confident display voice over delicate typographic nuance.
The design balances circular geometry (notably in C, O, Q, and lowercase bowls) with flat cuts and simplified diagonals, which helps maintain clarity in dense settings. The heavy weight reduces fine detail, so spacing and counter shapes do much of the readability work.
