A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal modulation, giving the forms a solid, even color. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with subtle rounding, while counters stay open enough to hold up in large text. The lowercase leans toward single-storey, simplified constructions, and the numerals share the same sturdy, forward-tilted stance for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where impact and motion are desirable. It also works well for sports, entertainment, and promotional graphics, plus short signage lines where a strong slanted sans can carry the message quickly.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a forward slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its thick strokes and wide footprint read as confident and promotional, lending a contemporary, action-oriented voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines geometric roundness with an assertive oblique stance. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified letterforms prioritize clarity at large sizes and a bold, energetic personality.
The italic angle is pronounced, which increases emphasis and momentum but also tightens interior spaces in smaller sizes. Round letters retain a geometric feel, and the set maintains consistent weight and curvature across caps, lowercase, and figures.
