Keywords: headlines, posters, sports branding, packaging, display ads, sporty, confident, energetic, modern, friendly, impact, momentum, modernity, approachability, rounded, slanted, compact apertures, soft corners, heavyweight.
A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and even with minimal modulation, and terminals are softened rather than sharply cut, giving the forms a robust, cohesive feel. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while round characters (O, o, 8, 9) read as strongly elliptical and steady. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with clear, uncomplicated shapes designed for high-impact readability.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and attention-grabbing packaging or promotional graphics. It can also work for large UI banners or hero text where a strong, friendly emphasis is needed, while dense body copy may feel heavy due to the tight counters and weight.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable, balancing toughness with a friendly, contemporary character that feels promotional and upbeat.
Designed to deliver immediate visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance and sturdy, rounded forms. The emphasis appears to be on legibility at large sizes and a confident, contemporary presence for branding and display typography.
Lowercase shows single-storey construction where visible (notably a), reinforcing an informal, modern voice. Numerals are bold and graphic, with the 0 reading as a simple oval and the set maintaining consistent weight and slant for cohesive headlines.
