A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, pressurized curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softened terminals and subtly squared-off joins that keep shapes sturdy rather than calligraphic. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall silhouette reads as dense and blocky, giving letters a strong, planted presence. The rhythm is consistent and display-forward, with simplified geometry and minimal detail that favors impact over delicacy.
Best suited for short-form display settings where impact and immediacy matter—headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for bold UI banners or social graphics, but extended paragraphs may feel visually dense due to the tight counters and heavy texture.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like attitude. Its slanted stance and chunky forms suggest motion and assertiveness, leaning into a slightly retro, headline-driven feel rather than a neutral, text-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a fast, forward-leaning stance—combining simplified sans geometry with rounded massing to create a strong, energetic display voice.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same thick, rounded construction, producing a cohesive, uniform color across lines. The sample text shows the face holding together well at large sizes, where the compact counters and tight interior spaces contribute to a powerful, compressed texture.
