A heavy, oblique sans with rounded construction and large internal counters that keep shapes open despite the thick strokes. Curves are smooth and circular, while terminals are clean and minimally finished, giving the letters a solid, compact footprint. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and spacing is tuned for dense, headline-like setting without collapsing counters. Numerals are broad and sturdy, matching the letterforms with simple, geometric silhouettes and clear, dark mass.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, bold packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. Its heavy weight and rounded geometry hold up well at display sizes where the italic motion and large counters can be appreciated.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, combining bold presence with softened, rounded shapes. It reads as contemporary and athletic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and momentum rather than formality.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, energetic display voice: strong emphasis, clear readability at large sizes, and a friendly rounded skeleton paired with a consistent oblique angle to convey speed and confidence.
Round letters (like O/C/e) maintain generous apertures, and diagonal-heavy forms (K, V, W, X, Y) feel especially dynamic due to the italic angle and thick joins. The lowercase has a single-storey feel in key shapes (a, g), reinforcing an informal, friendly voice, while the caps remain straightforward and poster-ready.
