A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded-corner construction and broadly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and sturdy silhouettes. Terminals are blunt and clean, and many forms lean toward compact, superelliptical bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals), giving the design a cohesive, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with robust joins and simplified geometry that holds up at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and other display contexts where strong emphasis is needed—sports identities, promotional posters, packaging, and bold UI or signage moments. The thick strokes and compact counters favor larger sizes and short-to-medium text rather than extended reading.
The tone is forceful and athletic, with a forward-leaning, high-energy presence. Its rounded rectangles soften the weight just enough to feel contemporary rather than harsh, while still reading as confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a streamlined, contemporary voice: a bold oblique sans that combines industrial sturdiness with softened, rounded geometry for modern branding and energetic editorial display.
The figures are bold and block-like, matching the caps in heft and footprint; the round digits (0, 8, 9) echo the same squared-round logic as the letterforms. Lowercase shapes appear simplified and sturdy, prioritizing impact over delicacy, which supports strong headline use.
