A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, smooth terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, even color and strong silhouette clarity. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with circular/oval bowls and compact joins that keep forms sturdy and cohesive. The overall rhythm is slightly sprung by the slant, while the geometry stays clean and uncluttered.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display sizes where its mass and slant can drive emphasis. It works well for branding and promotional graphics that need a bold, modern voice, and it can also support packaging or apparel-style typography where impact is the priority.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a friendly, approachable softness from the rounded shapes. Its forward lean and large, dark letterforms suggest motion and momentum, making it feel sporty and promotional rather than restrained or formal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a contemporary, rounded sans structure, pairing a forward-leaning stance with sturdy, simplified shapes for quick recognition. The emphasis appears to be on energetic display typography that remains readable under heavy weight.
Numbers and uppercase forms read as blocky and confident, while lowercase maintains simple, highly legible constructions that hold up well in dense settings. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, and the rounded curves help prevent the extreme weight from feeling harsh.
