A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Curves are smooth and full (notably in C, O, S, and 8), while terminals are mostly clean and blunt, producing a solid, poster-ready texture. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a stable, even stroke color with minimal modulation. Counters are relatively tight in several lowercase forms, and the lowercase includes single-storey shapes (a, g) with simple, sturdy construction.
Works best for large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold brand wordmarks where the oblique stance can convey motion. It can also suit packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from a strong, contemporary, rounded sans voice.
The overall tone feels energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, sporty momentum. Rounded construction keeps it approachable, while the weight and slant add urgency and impact suited to attention-grabbing communication.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modern, rounded sans skeleton and a consistent oblique angle, balancing friendliness with force. It prioritizes strong silhouette and visual momentum over delicate detail, aiming for clear, confident display typography.
The rhythm is dense and punchy, especially in text, where the weight and compact apertures create strong word shapes. Numerals are equally robust and rounded, matching the letterforms’ mass and slant for cohesive display use.
