A heavy, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded curves and crisp, straight terminals. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal contrast, producing a solid, even color in text. The letterforms feel slightly compact in their internal spaces, with broad, circular bowls (notably in O/C/G) and a straightforward, geometric construction overall. Numerals are sturdy and open, with a clear, utilitarian rhythm that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, campaign graphics, sports and fitness branding, and punchy packaging. It can work for short callouts or subheads in UI and editorial layouts, but its dense weight and compact counters favor larger sizes over long-form reading.
The slanted stance and dense weight give the font a sense of motion and urgency, reading as energetic and forceful. Its clean, contemporary shapes keep the tone modern and practical rather than decorative, making it feel confident and performance-oriented.
Designed to deliver a bold, forward-leaning voice with clean geometry and dependable consistency. The goal appears to be high-impact communication that still feels controlled and contemporary, pairing strong presence with straightforward legibility.
The italic is a true oblique with a steady forward pitch and consistent stroke thickness, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes. Round letters retain a strong circular presence, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s dynamic posture.
