A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform-feeling, with compact inner counters and broad, smooth curves that keep forms sturdy at large sizes. The italics are more of a forward slant than a cursive construction, maintaining simple, constructed shapes and a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals are bold and blocky with rounded terminals, matching the overall superelliptical silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where bold, slanted emphasis is needed. It works well for sports and entertainment branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and punchy UI banners that benefit from a strong, rounded, contemporary voice.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and high-impact, with a fast, forward-leaning feel. Rounded corners temper the weight, adding a friendly, approachable edge that keeps it from feeling harsh. It reads as modern and action-oriented, suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning stance while keeping the forms approachable through rounded, superelliptical construction. It prioritizes dense, confident letterforms and consistent texture for emphatic display settings.
The uppercase set feels compact and tightly built, while the lowercase maintains strong presence with sturdy bowls and minimal delicacy. Curves and joins stay smooth and simplified, favoring clarity and mass over fine detail. The sample text shows strong word-shape and consistent color, especially in short phrases and headlines.
