A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved shoulders. Strokes are thick and even, with compact counters and mostly closed apertures that keep the texture dense. The italic is strongly oblique, giving letters a forward-leaning stance while maintaining blocky, stable silhouettes. Curves and joins are smooth and inflated, and terminals read as blunt rather than tapered, producing a sturdy, poster-friendly rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and lifestyle branding, attention-grabbing packaging, and bold signage. It can work for brief subheads or callouts where density and emphasis are desirable, but its tight apertures and heavy color make it less suitable for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and fast, with a sporty, headline-driven energy. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, but the dense, dark color and strong slant make it feel urgent and action-oriented—more “impact” than “casual.”
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a forward-leaning, energetic stance while keeping forms clean and contemporary. The rounded superelliptical shapes aim to balance toughness with friendliness, making it ideal for modern display typography that needs to feel fast, strong, and cohesive across letters and numbers.
Uppercase forms appear wide and muscular with simplified internal space, while lowercase maintains a tall, upright presence despite the oblique angle, contributing to strong word shapes. Numerals are similarly bold and compact, matching the same rounded, block-like logic for consistency in branding and display settings.
