A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, low-contrast strokes. The drawing leans strongly geometric: bowls are close to circular, counters are open, and terminals are cleanly cut with a consistent rightward slant. Curves and straight segments meet with minimal modulation, giving letters a sturdy, uniform color in text. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) with round dots and compact, sturdy joins, while numerals are wide, bold, and clearly shaped for display impact.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short bursts of copy where a bold, fast, contemporary voice is needed. It works well for posters, packaging, promotional graphics, and sports or lifestyle identities that benefit from a strong, slanted sans presence.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as active and contemporary. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the heavy weight adds confidence and punch for attention-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, high-impact sans that feels fast and modern, using geometric construction and a pronounced oblique angle to emphasize motion while keeping letterforms simple and highly consistent.
In continuous text the strong slant and wide set create a distinctive rhythm, with generous internal counters helping maintain clarity despite the heavy strokes. The forms stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive, logo-like feel when set large.
