A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and tightly packed internal counters. Strokes are strongly weighted with smoothly curved joins and generally blunt terminals, creating a dense, high-impact texture. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and letterforms favor wide bowls and elliptical curves over sharp angles, with occasional wedge-like cuts that add snap to the silhouette. Spacing reads sturdy and blocky in caps, while the lowercase stays robust and compact, keeping word shapes dark and cohesive.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and bold promotional layouts where impact and motion are desired. It fits sports branding, event graphics, and packaging that needs a confident, attention-grabbing voice. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but is most effective when not used for extended body text due to its dense weight and compact counters.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a forward-leaning, action-oriented feel. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, while the mass and slant project speed and confidence. The impression leans toward sporty, promotional, and slightly retro display typography.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, rounded sans structure and a built-in sense of movement from its consistent oblique stance. The forms prioritize bold readability and a strong, unified texture, aiming for clear display performance and brand-forward presence.
The uppercase set presents as particularly solid and headline-ready, with simplified, geometric construction that maintains uniform rhythm. Numerals match the same heavy, rounded language, reading best at larger sizes where their tight counters stay open enough for quick recognition. In longer lines, the dense color can dominate, so it benefits from generous line spacing and clear contrast with the background.
