A heavy, slanted sans with chunky, rounded geometry and tightly enclosed counters. Curves are built from broad circular forms, while joins and terminals are clean and simply cut, producing a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and an overall dense rhythm that holds together well at large sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same robust construction, favoring smooth bowls and blunt, straightforward diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, brand marks, and promotional graphics where maximum impact is needed. It also works well for sports-oriented design, event materials, packaging callouts, and large-scale signage where the dense forms and slant enhance urgency and presence.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as energetic and contemporary. Its mass and rounded construction give it a friendly toughness—more athletic and promotional than formal or editorial.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact, modern display typography with a dynamic, forward motion. The rounded, simplified shapes prioritize clarity at large sizes and a strong, confident voice for branding and promotional messaging.
The design relies on big internal shapes and short apertures, which boosts impact but can reduce differentiation in smaller text. In the samples, the slant and weight create a strong horizontal drive, making it especially attention-grabbing in short phrases.
