A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with tight internal counters, producing strong, compact letterforms that hold together as dark, solid shapes. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and the overall construction favors simple geometric bowls and straight-sided stems, with a noticeable rightward slant across both cases and numerals. Spacing reads sturdy and poster-like, prioritizing mass and impact over airy openness.
Best suited for short-to-medium headline settings where impact matters: posters, storefront graphics, sports and lifestyle branding, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work for logo wordmarks and social graphics where the condensed counters and heavy color help maintain legibility at large sizes.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and drive. Its chunky shapes and consistent weight feel contemporary and confident, leaning toward an athletic, action-oriented voice rather than refined or delicate moods.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact oblique sans for display typography—one that reads quickly, projects confidence, and maintains consistent visual weight across letters and numbers.
The uppercase set reads especially blocky and stable, while the lowercase maintains the same dense color with simplified, sturdy forms. Numerals match the same oblique, bold presence, making mixed alphanumeric strings feel cohesive and attention-grabbing.
