A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, slightly squared-off curves. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and strong internal counters. Terminals are blunt and smoothly finished, and the overall construction favors simple geometric curves over sharp angles. Spacing and rhythm feel compact and forceful, giving words a continuous, forward-leaning block of texture.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense weight and forward slant can deliver impact—headlines, posters, banners, and punchy campaign graphics. It also fits sporty or youth-leaning branding, packaging, and short, high-contrast callouts where a compact, energetic texture is desirable.
The tone is loud, energetic, and assertive, with a friendly softness from the rounded shapes. Its strong slant adds motion and urgency, reading as sporty and promotional rather than formal. The overall impression is bold, approachable impact—more fun and dynamic than restrained or technical.
This design appears intended to provide a high-impact, motion-forward sans for display typography. The combination of heavy strokes, rounded geometry, and pronounced slant suggests a focus on attention-grabbing titles and branding that needs to feel fast, strong, and friendly.
Round letters like O/C/G show generous, clean counters that help maintain legibility despite the heavy weight. The numerals are equally robust and headline-oriented, matching the letterforms in width and slanted stance for consistent texture in mixed settings.
