A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions, rounded bowls, and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, creating a solid, poster-like color on the page. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves (C, O, S, 6, 8, 9) stay clean and circular while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) lean forward with a consistent slant. Spacing reads sturdy and slightly tight, supporting large, impactful settings.
Best suited to headlines, hero text, and short statements where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It works well for brand marks, campaign graphics, sports and fitness messaging, packaging, and signage that benefits from bold, forward motion. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading due to its dense typographic color.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its chunky, rounded geometry feels contemporary and friendly, while the bold presence keeps it unmistakably attention-grabbing. The result is a sporty, promotional voice that reads confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, modern slant and simple, rounded construction. It prioritizes clarity at display sizes, pairing geometric shapes with a compact, muscular weight to communicate momentum and confidence.
Uppercase forms emphasize simple geometry with minimal interior detailing, and the lowercase keeps the same robust construction with clear dots and compact joins. Numerals are similarly bold and rounded, designed to hold up at display sizes where impact matters more than fine detail.
