A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and a confident, compact rhythm. Letterforms are built from simple geometric masses—round bowls and straight stems—with minimal stroke modulation and clean, open apertures. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts, giving the shapes a brisk forward motion. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall silhouette feels smooth and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact and speed are desirable, such as headlines, poster typography, bold branding moments, and retail or packaging callouts. It can also work well for short emphatic text in UI or social graphics when a strong, forward-leaning voice is needed.
The tone is energetic and punchy, reading as fast and contemporary with a slightly playful edge. Its strong diagonal stance and dense black color suggest momentum and impact, making it feel promotional and attention-seeking rather than understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, geometric construction and a persistent sense of motion. It prioritizes immediacy and readability at display sizes while keeping the forms simple and contemporary.
Capitals have a stable, headline-oriented presence, while lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and straightforward construction. Numerals match the same bold, rounded geometry, with uniform color and clear differentiation at display sizes.
