A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded outer contours. Strokes are chunky and largely uniform, with gently curved joins and slightly softened terminals that keep the texture cohesive at large sizes. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, and R, while round characters (O, Q, 0) read as robust ovals. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with single-storey forms and a utilitarian, display-driven rhythm; figures are similarly bold and compact, with an oblique, forward-leaning stance across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and sports or lifestyle branding. It can work well on packaging and signage where bold presence is needed, especially when set with generous line spacing. For extended reading, it’s more effective in brief bursts or larger sizes where counters and word shapes remain distinct.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and impact. Its inflated, muscular shapes give it a confident, sporty feel, while the smooth curves keep it friendly rather than aggressive. The result reads as attention-grabbing and headline-oriented, suited to energetic branding moments.
The design appears intended as a bold oblique display sans that prioritizes immediacy and visual power. Its rounded, compact forms and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on strong silhouettes and quick recognition in advertising and branding contexts.
In text settings the weight creates a dense, dark typographic color, and the slant reinforces momentum across words. The wide letterforms and tight internal spaces can make long passages feel heavy, but they amplify presence in short lines and big sizes where the rounded geometry stays clear.
