A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, compact counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Curves (C, O, S) read smooth and slightly squashed, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Z) feel sturdy and geometric. Lowercase forms are simple and robust; the single-storey a and g keep the silhouette athletic and streamlined, and the numerals are similarly bold and tightly constructed for strong presence.
Best suited for bold display work where impact matters: headlines, posters, brand marks, product packaging, and sports or event graphics. It performs well for short bursts of text, callouts, and signage-style messaging where a compact, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a sporty, headline-driven energy. Its slant and weight convey momentum and confidence, while the rounded shapes keep the feel approachable rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-impact sans voice with a sense of motion. The combination of broad forms, heavy strokes, and rounded geometry suggests a focus on loud, readable display typography for contemporary commercial and promotional use.
In longer lines, the strong blackness creates a solid typographic block, so spacing and line breaks become key for clarity. The oblique stance is pronounced enough to read as dynamic even at large sizes, and the sturdy shapes keep letterforms recognizable in punchy, high-contrast applications.
