A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, smoothly finished terminals. Strokes are sturdy and even, with generously sized curves that keep bowls and counters clear despite the weight. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the overall rhythm feels forward-leaning and tightly controlled. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric, while lowercase shapes stay robust with compact apertures and a single-storey “a” and “g” in the sample.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact matters: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and packaging callouts. The strong slant and heavy strokes also fit energetic themes such as sports and entertainment, and can work for short, bold emphasis in editorial layouts when used sparingly.
The tone is bold and urgent, with a dynamic, athletic lean that reads as confident and contemporary. Its rounded construction softens the aggression of the weight, giving it an approachable, brand-friendly character while still feeling high-impact.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact, forward-leaning voice. The goal appears to be a bold italic workhorse for display settings—clean, rounded, and modern—prioritizing presence and immediate readability over delicate detail.
Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with rounded shapes and clear silhouettes at large sizes. The set maintains consistent spacing and stroke behavior, supporting punchy all-caps lines as well as dense, bold italic text blocks.
