A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded construction and smooth, low-modulation strokes. Curves are generously circular (notably in C, O, Q, and 0) and the joins stay compact, producing sturdy letterforms with minimal delicacy. Counters are moderate and slightly tightened by the mass of the strokes, while terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the overall texture dense and even. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm that reads as fast and assertive.
Best suited for short-form display work where mass and slant can carry the message—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. It can also work for UI or signage accents when used sparingly at larger sizes, where the dense color and rounded forms remain clear.
The overall tone is energetic and self-assured, with a sporty, headline-driven presence. Its rounded shapes keep the boldness feeling friendly rather than severe, while the oblique posture adds urgency and momentum. The result feels contemporary and impact-oriented, suited to attention-grabbing typography.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, approachable sans structure, combining strong weight with a consistent forward slant to project motion and confidence. The rounded geometry and blunt terminals suggest an emphasis on contemporary display utility rather than typographic ornament.
The numeral set follows the same rounded, weighty logic, with an especially solid 8 and a compact, footed 2. Uppercase proportions feel stable and wide-set, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike feel that prioritizes punch and clarity over finesse.
