A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad, rounded forms and a clean, geometric construction. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves on C/O/Q and firm, straight-sided geometry on E/F/H/N. Counters are relatively open and the x-height is generous, giving lowercase a sturdy, compact feel, while capitals read wide and stable. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm is dense due to the weight and the slightly tightened internal spacing in bowls and apertures.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, branding marks, posters, sports and event graphics, and packaging where bold presence is needed. It can also work for UI callouts, labels, and short blocks of text when strong emphasis and quick scanning are the priority.
The oblique stance and wide stance create a sense of speed and confidence, with a contemporary, utilitarian tone. It feels punchy and decisive—more about impact and momentum than subtlety—making it well-suited to energetic, attention-forward messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-impact sans that reads fast and feels dynamic. Its combination of broad proportions, sturdy stroke weight, and consistent geometric curves suggests an intention to provide confident display typography with a streamlined, contemporary look.
Diagonal joins and angled details (notably in K, R, W, X, and the slanted numerals) reinforce the motion-oriented character. The lowercase keeps simple, familiar shapes with single-story forms and rounded shoulders, prioritizing clarity at display sizes.
