A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, blocky proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are thick and confident with clean, mostly uniform joins; counters stay open but become tight in letters like B, e, and 8 due to the weight. Curved characters (O, C, S) lean on near-elliptical geometry, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Z are sharply cut and strongly angled, reinforcing forward motion. The lowercase shows a sturdy, compact construction with short extenders and a single-storey a, and the numerals are robust and wide with simplified, high-contrast silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact matters—headlines, posters, promotions, and branding systems that need speed and power. It can also work for short UI labels or product marks when ample size and contrast are available, but the dense weight and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, sporty feel created by the consistent slant and dense color. It reads as modern and utilitarian rather than delicate, aiming for immediacy and impact.
Designed to deliver a strong, forward-leaning display voice that feels modern and athletic, pairing geometric roundness with aggressive diagonals for immediacy. The aim appears to be high visibility and brand presence in bold, attention-driven contexts.
Spacing appears built for headline use: the mass and slant create a strong horizontal rhythm, while interior whitespace is minimized in smaller counters. The shapes stay cohesive across upper- and lowercase, maintaining a unified, emphatic voice in continuous text.
