A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and stout, rounded forms. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curve construction and softened joins that keep counters fairly open while apertures remain compact. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and dense, with sturdy terminals and a consistent, slightly compressed internal spacing that reinforces its punchy silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to attention-grabbing applications such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand statements where a forward-leaning, high-impact voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of copy—taglines, calls to action, and labels—when set with comfortable spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, headline-driven confidence. Its strong slant and thick shapes give it a sense of motion and immediacy, while the rounded geometry adds a friendly, approachable edge rather than an industrial severity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, pairing a strong italic slant with rounded, uniform-weight forms for a contemporary, approachable display voice.
Numerals follow the same chunky, slanted construction and read well at display sizes, with clear differentiation between rounded figures like 0/8/9 and angular forms like 1/7. The set feels optimized for impact, where lettershape mass and consistent weight create a solid block of text with a distinctive forward tilt.
