A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and large counters. Strokes are broad and steady with smooth curves, blunt terminals, and minimal modulation, giving a compact, high-ink silhouette. The italic slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the overall spacing feels tight and efficient, with simplified forms that emphasize mass and clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a dense, slanted bold can deliver immediate impact. It also works well for sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and short emphatic UI or signage messages where space is limited but visibility is critical.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, action-forward feel. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, approachable confidence that reads well in bold statements.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive italic rhythm, pairing geometric roundness with a compact footprint. The intent appears to be a versatile, attention-grabbing display sans that stays readable through simplified, sturdy letterforms.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and block-like, while lowercase keeps single-storey shapes and open apertures where possible to preserve legibility under heavy weight. Numerals match the same compact, rounded logic and maintain a strong, poster-ready presence.
