A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, smoothly modeled curves and dense, compact letterforms. Strokes stay broadly uniform with minimal contrast, while terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, giving a crisp edge to otherwise soft shapes. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, R, and a, and the overall rhythm feels slightly compressed, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep silhouettes bold and clear. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, reinforcing a contemporary, streamlined construction; numerals are similarly chunky and legible with rounded interiors.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, branding wordmarks, sports and fitness communications, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for UI labels or navigation when used sparingly and at sufficient size, where its oblique stance helps signal emphasis.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as active and contemporary. Rounded forms prevent it from feeling harsh, adding an approachable, friendly edge while still projecting confidence and urgency.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning feel while maintaining a friendly, rounded sans character. The simplified, sturdy constructions and tight spacing suggest an emphasis on strong silhouettes and confident display presence.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating strong directional emphasis for headlines. At small sizes the tight counters and heavy weight may reduce clarity, but the shapes remain distinctive and cohesive for display use.
