A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with a clean, contemporary finish and minimal modulation. Counters are fairly open for the weight, terminals tend to be blunt or softly cut, and the overall rhythm is compact and sturdy. Uppercase forms read broad and stable, while lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with simple, utilitarian shapes that keep the texture dense and consistent.
Best suited to headlines, hero text, and short display copy where strong emphasis and motion are desirable. It works well for branding systems that need a modern, athletic voice, as well as packaging and promotional materials that benefit from a dense, high-impact typographic color.
The strong slant and solid weight give it an energetic, assertive voice that feels sporty and contemporary. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, with a streamlined tone suited to fast-paced, promotional messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver a bold, contemporary sans with a pronounced forward motion, balancing geometric roundness with compact proportions for maximum impact. The simplified lowercase and sturdy figures suggest an emphasis on quick recognition and strong presence in display settings.
The numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ compact, rounded skeleton. The overall color is dark and even, producing strong impact at larger sizes and in short lines of text.
