A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled counters that create a dense, compact silhouette. Strokes remain largely uniform, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep the forms clean despite the weight. Apertures tend to be small, terminals are blunt, and curves lean toward geometric construction, producing sturdy bowls and clear, simplified shapes. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, helping the text mass stay even across lines, while figures and caps match the same robust, forward-slanted stance.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense weight and oblique angle can function as a graphic element—headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It can work for short bursts of copy (taglines, calls to action), but extended reading at smaller sizes may feel heavy due to the tight counters and strong slant.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and momentum. Its bold presence reads as modern and promotional, leaning toward sporty and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or editorial.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, geometric sans structure and a built-in sense of speed. The emphasis appears to be on high-visibility display typography that feels contemporary and performance-oriented.
In continuous text, the strong slant and tight apertures create a solid typographic "block" that emphasizes impact over delicacy. The weight and spacing make word shapes feel compact and forceful, and the round forms keep the personality friendly despite the intensity.
