A heavy, oblique sans with a compact, block-forward build and rounded outer curves. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible modulation, producing strong color and even rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are small, especially in letters like e and a, giving the face a dense, sturdy texture. Terminals are blunt and squared off, while round letters (O, C, G, 0, 8, 9) keep smooth, geometric curvature; diagonals in A, V, W, X, Y and the slanted shoulders in n/m show a steady, uniform slant.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can work for brief text runs where a strong, compact texture is desirable, but its dense counters and heavy weight favor display sizes over extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike feel. Its forward-leaning stance and chunky shapes read as energetic and competitive, suggesting sports, action, or industrial branding. The dense spacing and strong silhouettes also give it a slightly retro, poster-like impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through thick, uniform strokes and a consistent oblique stance, balancing geometric roundness with blunt, engineered terminals. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and an energetic forward motion for branding and display use where immediacy and presence matter.
Numerals are especially weighty and attention-grabbing, with the 0 featuring a clear inner cut and the 1 rendered as a tall, slab-like form. The lowercase is robust and wide-shouldered (notably in m, n, u), and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping lines of text maintain a unified flow.
