A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and consistent with gently eased corners, producing solid, dark letterforms and a strong horizontal presence. Curves are built from clean ellipses and circular bowls, while joins and terminals stay blunt and controlled, keeping the texture dense and even in paragraphs. Counters are relatively compact, and the overall spacing reads as sturdy and tightly knit at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where weight and width can do the work: headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and bold packaging callouts. It also performs well for short UI labels or signage where an emphatic, directional voice is needed, though the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for long passages.
The tone is punchy and forward-leaning, with an athletic, high-impact feel. Its wide stance and strong slant suggest speed and momentum, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact oblique voice with a modern geometric foundation—optimized for branding and display typography where speed, strength, and clarity are key.
Uppercase forms show a distinctly streamlined, engineered feel, and the numerals match the same broad, weighty rhythm for consistent headline use. The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis on its own, making it effective for attention-grabbing settings without additional styling.
