A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curves and softened joins, producing dense, compact counters and strong silhouettes. Terminals read clean and blunt rather than tapered, and the overall rhythm is steady and punchy, with a slightly forward-leaning stance that reinforces motion and emphasis.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, logos, and product packaging where bold presence and a sense of motion are beneficial. It can work well for contemporary brand systems and energetic campaigns, particularly when used at display sizes where its rounded geometry and dense counters remain clear.
The tone is assertive and high-impact while staying approachable due to its rounded geometry. Its slanted posture and chunky shapes evoke speed, action, and contemporary branding, landing in a space that feels sporty and upbeat rather than formal or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—combining a forward-leaning posture for dynamism with rounded, consistent shapes for approachability and strong brand recognition.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and block-like, while lowercase maintains the same weight and curvature for a cohesive voice in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same rounded, compact feel, favoring bold presence over fine detail, especially at larger sizes.
