A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are uniform and dense, with soft corners and generous curves that keep the weight from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while shapes such as O and Q stay clean and open enough to remain recognizable at display sizes. The rhythm is steady and blocky, with a forward-leaning stance that emphasizes motion and impact.
Best used for headlines, large-scale typography, and brand marks where weight and slant can communicate speed and emphasis. It works well on posters, packaging, sports and lifestyle branding, and punchy UI moments such as banners or hero text, where strong silhouettes and rounded geometry improve quick recognition.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining athletic momentum with a friendly, approachable roundness. It reads as contemporary and attention-grabbing, suited to messaging that wants to feel active, bold, and confident without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, energetic posture while maintaining a smooth, approachable feel through rounded construction and consistent stroke weight. It prioritizes bold presence and clear shapes over fine detail, making it especially suited to display-led typography.
Uppercase forms show sturdy, simplified geometry (notably in E, F, and T), while the lowercase keeps a single-storey a and compact apertures that reinforce a modern, sign-like clarity. Numerals are thick and graphic, designed to hold presence in short strings and headlines.
